Well, here's the answer to this one. Soon as I saw the subject line I literally settled back into my corner of the sofa in anticipation of a good read. Your affection for little Meow shines through, and it's clear how much healing you all are doing for one another. I'm delighted for you all.

I hope the tough times slack off, but I hope you keep telling tales about little Meow. You should consider writing a children's book.
