Micca,

The tales of Mudcat friendship could have been written by Charles Dickens, and to the world outside must strain credulity. Indeed, Micca, the warmth surrounding you could heal Tiny Tim and bring good cheer to the workhouses and orphanages. In fact, these 'catters could redeem Old Scrooge himself.

Don't forget, on the other side of this sadness are many pints of cheer and songs love and honor and hours of warm fellowship. (And womanship, or ladyship or femaleship, you know.)

I'll be calling but Merry Happy HO HO HO, etc., etc.

Chance
