May 1st was Poof's birthday.  When I got her, she was so tiny she reminded me of that little puff of smoke you saw when the road runner led the coyote off a cliff, hence the name.

We never knew Poof's exact birthday but she must have been about a month old when we got her, so we guessed it to be around May 1st.  It's hard to imagine that now, it would have been 41 years ago.

I lost Poof in 2000, at 15.  She started it all.  All the dozens of cats I adopted and loved after, all the ones I lost and grieved over, and all the friends I've made all over the world, including everybody here.

I'll never forget Poof, never stop loving her, never stop missing her, and I'll never stop being grateful to her for everything.  John

John,  my eyes are all watery...your words got me all emotional not only for you,  but for the many fur kids who have graced us with their lives over the years.

Those birth dates, adoption dates and death dates are hard. 
Sorry. I know how you feel.

I know everybody here has been through it all.  It's never easy, it never goes away, and the love never fades.  We just keep passing it along.  John
