... when wee Dinah the cat died in late January this year we were heartbroken ... she'd been an intricate part of our lives for 17 years ... we played with her when she was a kitten and cared for her as she succumbed to disease and old age ... we loved having a cat (or 2) around the house but didn't know (given our own advancing years) if we should or could have another cat ... in early october we saw a notice in the newspaper that the local SPCA was trying to find homes for the many cats in its shelter ... given that cats in overcrowded conditions often get stressed and sick and end up being 'put down' we thought we could and should help ... and so Genie came into our home ... she's a two-year old (as we later found out) pixie-bob ... it took her a month to get settled but since then she's been nothing but a joy to have in our home.
