We had to bury six cats today. Hige died sometime last night; Chibi, Max, Heika and Pork Chop died early this morning. We can't find Side Walk and I think he probably went away because he knew that the end was near. Will, who was the weakest and sickest of the lot lingered on till this evening. She was dead when my mom and I came back from sending Lucky, Jack and the two kittens to the vet. Her will to live was so very strong.

I hope so very much for the six that are left.
