Molly has been here 2 years today, I am so pleased, it is an extra special day, but also bittersweet. It was always going to be a bittersweet day, even without last week, as she is the only cat left from teh ones I had when she came to live here, and she is only the second cat out of the 8 I have owned to have made their second anniversary, so it makes me think of some of the others, especially PEbbles.
