    **********************************
    
    ......a little late, but I am new (today) to this conference, and
    Eddies replacement has arrived and is now sitting on my lap.
    
    Eddie was named from the Laura Nyro song...my name is Eddie,
    and I am a cat and I sleep with one eye open..etc.  Also after
    Eddie Harris the jazz player.
    
    He was a ginger and white DSH with perfect low tops on the front
    paws and high tops on the back.  He would ALWAYS be sure he
    sat with his front paws lined up perfectly.  
    
    A picture of dignity, Eddie knew what he wanted, and was
    perfectly OK with getting and doing what he wanted, while
    doing no harm to anyone else.  I learned alot from him.
    
    Born in Hawaii and migrated to Australia as soul companion to mom,
    he was my #1 man.   (unfortunately?)
    
    He has won over many a dog person with his fierce independence
    and outrageous character.  He was looked after for a year while
    I was sailing/traveling by an X dog man who thought if he could
    learn to relate to a feline, he might have some hope relating
    to a woman.  He promply changed Eddie to Ed, and taught him
    to sit, but after that he too started to learn from Eddie.
    Eddie than flew to Australia and his temporary care taker got 
    married a year later.
    
    I only had him a little over a year after his 4 month quarentine.
    He was a joy to be around. A very happy soul.
    
    He was my first pet to loose so tragically, and my only family
    down under. (It's nice to be able to write this now.)  I buried
    him in the yard next to the garden under a tree.  At sunset.
    12 (!) people attented with 5 being neighbors.  He was a very
    popular cat.
    
    I felt his presence in my home the other night.  The next day
    I rang my local vet, and they *just happened to have* a 4
    month old ginger/white stray.  My new cat is beautiful, and
    much more affectinate than Eddie, and it's fantastic to
    have  a friend at home again.
    
    ..thank you Eddie..have fun!

Eedra, I'm sorry to hear of Eddie's passing.  He sounds like he was one hell
of a good cat.  It's also good to hear that you are able to find a new place
in your heart for your new kitten.  It'll make the healing so much easier.

Our sympathies....and let's hear those kitten stories!
