Please say a prayer for Jaws, a cat who lived a long life and whom I visited whilst on vacation in Michigan. She had declined in health from the last time I'd seen her, three years ago. Just last month, she was named First Runner-Up in the Pet of the Month contest at Yahoo!Clubs Animal Psychology.
Today I received a message from my sister-in-law, which read in part: "Dear Joe; Well, today was Jaws' last day. The past two or three days she began to go downhill fast — she couldn't even get up on the couch, her favorite spot. She was not eating, fell down a lot, et cetera. She was 20, according to the vets' record. I took her in this morning to be put to sleep. She is buried in a nice spot, up on the little hill where Punkin and Padre are — along with Rocky the guinea pig and innumerable hamsters, goldfish and two little fiddler crabs that we got on a trip to Cape Cod a long time ago. Oddly enough, they were named Cape and Cod! So there is a little grouping of pets there. Anyway it has not been a fun day so far. Oh, well; life must go on. I don't know if we will get another pet or not. We'll see."

May she rest in peace!
