Thanks for all the kind words, folks. We have had cats forever, normally 2 or 3 at a time, and the really sad thing is that Becky was one of those sweet cats that was always dominated by another superstar cat. People would always rave about Lucy, our Mainecoon, or Tweetie, the pure attitude badass tom, ot Jack, an abbysinian who was over the top with personality, but always Becky just got an. "oh, you have another kitty, she seems sweet." She was the perennial wallflower, never gets invited to the prom, probably be an old maid cat, that in later years seemed to sort of blossom in to her old years with a quiet dignity.

My other cat, Lucy seemed sort of lost last evening and I put her on the bed with us, and she slept there all night, This AM, she had a sort of look like, "Wow, if I had known I would get to sleep in the bed, I would have knocked off the old lady cat years ago." Again, thanks, folks, it is nice to encounter som many cat people in this forum.
