Also, please accept my condolences. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. In the brief time he posted here he added a lot to the conversation and I would rather leave this here as a reminder we are all mortal and that some make the world a better place than delete the thread.
I feel deep a connection with the cat story.......we care for 10 both inside and feral outside and I fully understand the "He loved a wild cat from the forest...." reference ( plus, I live in a forest....only 7 acres but it's MY forest.
