They get their hooks into your heart and it's all over. Our earliest rescue, of four, was the last to pass at 22 years plus. Hypothermia and crispy mite crusted El Monte ally cat too young to be away from mom. Took her to the vet the next morning and the vet says "you can get a great pedigreed for a lot less than it will cost to save this one. Linda says "But we've bonded...." After bringing her home she slept curled under Linda's arm pit for months until she could get around on her own. During the last year of her rickety old age, I had to put steps at the foot of the bed so she could spend the night there again, until her last night. Linda was always Crispie's mom.

They are always there for you too. Whenever Linda was down, Crispie would always come to her and in that creaky little voice, ask if she was OK in the pick me up and snuggle with you manner. They know.
