Puck116, your pussycat looks exactly like my sweet "Anna Marta" that lived to be 17 years old. I grieved when she went to pussycat heaven, or across the rainbow bridge or whatever...
I like to believe we will see our pets in heaven because in the bible it does say that the lion will lay down with the lamb, so I deduce then that the animals must have made it to the other side and are waiting for us. Nice thought, even though it is not that easy to ground theologically.
