Today I had to say goodbye to an old friend. It was a very tough day, but I had put off the inevitable as long as I could. I had to put Sassy to sleep today. She was a very sweet cat. She isn't cool and full of attitude like JT, but she was sweet and cuddly. She purred like a motor all the time. She would love up to anyone that came to the house and make sure they left the house with the gift of a pant leg covered in white and gray hair. She would sleep curled up against my shoulder or on my shoulder until it feel asleep under 13 pounds of sleeping weight.
The best part of Sassy and the thing I will always remember about her is that unlike JT she didn't always answer to her name. But when she wouldn't come to her name all I had to do was sing, and she would come and curl up in my lap purring. I will miss my friend.

I am so sad to hear about Sassy. I know how devastated I was when our family lost Murphy. And today, when a friend said she ate rabbit for dinner at a Morrocan restaurant, I cringed and secretly cried for Oodle, so I know the pain of pets. Once, on spring break, our call to adventure was, "I'm feelin' kind of sassy today". Maybe you, too, can use this little ficelle des mots to remember her on certain days.
You have GOT to read the comments on my fair tirade. Some anonymous person got all pissy and left a hater 'cause I dissed the high prices. Wow are some people angry and unable to understand snark.
