Two events of the past two weeks that have caused sadness. One event, the death of our kitty of 17 years, caused Ann and me great sadness. But we rationalize by thinking of the way she came across the privacy fence from the apartments behind us, where she had been abandoned as just a tiny kitten. Ann would see her come in the yard and started to feed her. She was so tiny, so hungry. Even with the feeding, no one could get near her because she had apparently been severely abused and was so young she only knew to be afraid of humans.
