Thank you for posting it, Little Tich!

It isn't the first time I've heard of a therapy cat like this, comforting the elderly and the dying. There was a story awhile back about another cat like this - a different one, not an orange tabby - that somehow knew when a patient was on the verge of death. That cat would head toward that patient's room, jump up on the bed, and settle in, providing some final comfort and sweetness. Makes me get choked up just to think about it.

Cats are WUNNNNNNNderful. I've always gravitated toward them. We have three at the moment. Indeed, there's nothing like a good, purring, loving kitty cat.
