It's fate that this thread has just appeared! Suzie - our cat who only ever answered to Wooz, has lived here longer than I have. A cat who hated all other animals except humans who she loved dearly. Her favourite things? Food, my lap and more food (including custard!!). Sadly, at the ripe old age of 20, she's off tomorrow to take that long sleep. Mostly blind, decidedly deaf, somewhat arthritic and finally, a facial tumour which is inoperable. I know it's the best thing for her but..... In the supermarket yesterday I bought a couple of tins of outrageously expensive food as a final present and I, 6'7" built like a brick outhouse, burst into tears at the check-out as I picked them out of my basket. This evening she's been lying on my lap with whiskers full of cuatard and purring loudly. Bye darling, I'll miss you. Eddie
