What a wonderful remembrance you will have of him now. I understand. I drove over 50 miles yesterday to take my cat that adopted me and had never been confined in anything in his lifetime, to a vet hospital. He meowed all the way there and I talked to him all the way. When we got there, I carried his new carrier in and we had an hour's wait, he never made another peep. Did he know that help was on the way for his horrible congestion? He was also silent all the way home.
