I just discovered that Blogger ate a part of my post. I had to delete a sentence from a previous post that was out of context. What I had written about was the cats I had to leave to Estonia: Kurri and Sassu. Sassu was her old feisty self. She did not remember me immediately, but after a short while we became reaquainted.

Kurri was another matter entirely. When I visited last he was so ill that I did not expect him to survive the winter. To my surprise he did, but his condition worsened so much in the spring that mom and dad had to take him to the vet to be put to sleep. He is now resting under a tree in the yard of my parent's summer cottage, his domain that he ruled over. I hope he is happy, healthy and free of pain now. He had 17 years with us and we will miss him terribly.

Good bye Old Fat.
