<p>Berurah:</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to hear about dear sweet Patch. I may have missed the message, but did you mention how he ended up in front of the house? Did someone leave a door or gate open?</p>
<p>Quite a few years ago my mother took her cat into the vet and found that the cat had something incurable and euthanasia was recommended. On arriving home from the vet, she pulled into the driveway and there was an orange cat that she’d never seen before. We decided he was there to say “I hear you’re going to be having a vacancy…” Peachie is now about 18 years old and really that’s the only intelligent thing he’s done in his whole life. ;-)</p>
