3. That is the whole thing isn't it?

No matter how they chose to be in your life you can always make them feel love. It takes so little, a reliable food source is easy. It took me years to get Tiger into my room to eat comfortably, then he would stay in during bad weather often over night. After a while I was able to touch him on the head with a finger. I went too far one day and he tore me up so we went back to the beginning. By the time he left that last time he would sit next to me and let me gently pet his head and he had a special song that would call him over to me.

He was surrounded by love. Every creature deserves that, it is one of the easiest things to do to just show a little love. This is one of the best videos I have seen about this. So many are good but this showed the care and concern before TNR and the slow and patient work it takes to get to where this dear, dying cat could feel all the good things he likely missed out on.

Sorry, I lost too many cats this year and I get all twisted up about this. Happy/sad/happy You know very well how that goes.
