Markus,

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, and will remember Gizmo. The loyalty and unique empathy of our small friends is a gift that lives on.

Markus,

  Very sorry to hear of your loss. Some of my best friends were/are cats!
I had a cat that sat on top of my tube (valve) transmitter (a Heathkit DX-100) to keep warm :-) Currently I have an old tabby that follows me around and waits each morning to sit in my lap while I have my morning coffee in my reclining chair. He waits for me in front of the chair while I have my breakfast at the dinner table.

73 Warren
