Re: Ebony
Whispershadow, those cats are very lucky to have you. Some people are indeed cruel and sadly there is little we can do to change them. But someone like you, who clearly has a big heart and bags of love, more than makes up for the wicked people in this world.
I've grown up with cats and indeed dogs. In fact, horses, ducks, hens, geese, owls, kestrels, fish and even some sheep once. I had one cat die in my arms after the neighbour's dogs mauled him. I was 11. These things happen and sometimes stay with you. I'll never forget that cat, he was only half grown and I hadn't even given him a name. But despite dying in that horrible way he had a happy life up until that moment, I console myself with that knowledge.
Ebony will live on forever in your heart but you don't need me to tell you that. Take care of yourself and just keep doing what you're doing
