    Margulis had a wonderful full life 15 years is a good long life for one starting out life as a stray. Reading your story made me cry. Its a sadness we all have to endure. We are never ready for it.

    My sincere condolence.

    aw, what a sweet story. I am sorry for your loss. I lost a 16 year old cat last week from kidney failure (I think) too. She was slowly deteriorating and suddenly got so much worse that i had her pts.
    Even though I have 3 other cats and she wasn't even my favorite; I keep looking for her and missing her presence.

    Makbike, I'm really sorry for your loss! She sounded like a very special friend.

    Heh.

    Lynn Margulis was my very first undergraduate advisor (eons ago) when I was a biology major at Boston University. I changed majors lickety-split -- nothing against her, it was the hordes pre-meds I couldn't stand -- so that was that.

    Sorry for your loss, Makbike. Sounds like you were both lucky to find each other!
    It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)
