Happy Birthday, Daffy!!! I'm so glad you're bringing so much happiness and comfort to your Meowmie.
I sympathize deeply with your losses. Our beloved Mozart (the orange kitty, 2nd fr left in avatar) suddenly collapsed and died in front of me on Dec 17 from congenital heart failure. He was only 6 yrs old. We miss him so badly.
Soooo, does Daffy get a special birthday dinner? I usually let them have some Fancy Feast then (kitty fast food equivalent)!
And thank you too, orchidraver! Thank you for the words. The emphasis now is on what I've been blessed with and Daffy is a joy! I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Bunny, my kitty who passed from a brain tumor, died one day after your sweetie, Mozart. And I know too well about congenital heart failure in cats....an all too common disease in felines, sadly. I had an 11 month old calico who died 5 years ago from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy...suddenly, also.
