There are millions of cats in shelters because their owners either died or had to go into nursing homes and it's so sad, because they don't know what's happening to them and it takes up the shelter space of a truly needy cat.
Sorry for being so blunt.
Oh, Jamiestitcher, I hear you. That's precisely why I think I'm headed for a more "senior" cat - not only to rescue them, but to make the probability of our demise a tad more coordinated under normal circumstances. Otherwise, I will make provision so that their best interest will be provided for. Bless you for your candor and concern.
