A beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing this story with us, Stan.
Condolences from the editors at Catness, and I feel sure that other Catness members will join us.
The pain of losing a furbaby never reduces, but it does soften over time. Talking about it, writing about it, those help. Sharing funny stories,sharing memories, sharing photos. All that helps a little.
You will never replace Daniel, but you might want to think about rescuing another cat in his memory. So many are passed over, so many need loving homes. Just a thought.
Kind wishes from the editors.
