The smallest feline is a masterpiece.---Leonardo da Vinci

     Farewell to Kate's little Ralphie-cat.  Thank you Ralphie for gracing our lives for fifteen years.  Thank you, Kate, for sharing him with us.  We loved the little guy.  Kate, you were the best friend Ralphie could ever have had.  He was one lucky kitty.
   
"There are no ordinary cats."---Collette

"A catless writer is almost inconceivable.  It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat;  they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys."---Barbara Holland
