My cat 'Schatze' died early this morning. He's been the family pet for fifteen years, and he was the only real pet that I've ever had. So, needless to say I'm a little sad today.

R.I.P. Schatz'

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Schatz' was a prince until the end. He passed away early Sunday morning and somehow, by the grace of god, the sun came out for a couple of hours that afternoon and the snow had all but melted, so we were able to give him a proper burial. Today, there's five inches on the ground and we're bracing for a second storm. It would have been terrible to have had to bury him this week.

I'll probably get another cat some day, but I don't think I'll ever truly replace this one.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words. They've been a comfort.

Our family made a donation to the local humane society in Schatze's memory, and we received a very nice thank-you note.

We will probably adopt another cat again someday, when the time is right.
