*hugs Saitaina*

A little over a year ago, I too lost an adorable seven week old 
kitten, at a cost around $1000 -- but mine died of having been sickly 
since birth, not of (horror), uh, 'Nature red in tooth and claw'.

*hugs Saitaina again*

And Meglet, Sheryll, all the dog people out there: hugs to you-uns, 
too, I know you dog people love your dogs as much as us cat people 
love our cats.
