I am sorry to hear that Abbie will be the cat of your engagement, but not of your early marriage.

I am glad you had time to know him, and that he has given you that unique seal of approval that cats give to their people.

Much comfort to you and derspatchel in your time of sadness, may you heal fully, and always be blessed by the memory of his textile-shedding, truck-purring, food-mooching presence, wherever you are.
