A Goodbye to E.C. (Extra Cat)
Posted May 29, 2007

This cat arrived at about the same time Ariel did; summer of 2003.  He used to be so afraid of us that he would run away if we even came to the window.  Finally, he got so I could get within 4' of him, but never closer.  He showed up about 10 days ago with a broken front leg, hobbling.  Of course we couldn't catch him or help him.  He succumbed under my office.  I feel sad that he would never let us take care of him properly.  So long, E.C.  See you at the Rainbow Bridge!
