We are newcomers to the great state of Texas, having moved here from Pennsylvania to be near our grandson. Prior to our move we made a very difficult decision to put our 18 year old cat, Cinder down. She had been experiencing rapid weight loss and had begun using the entire house as her litter box. The vet did some tests, but had no conclusive answers except old age and her body shutting down. We knew the 1500 mile trek would do her in, so we held her in our arms as the vet put her to sleep. We then buried Cinder near her best dog pal Tuppenny.
