I'm very sorry about Petunia. I know what you are going through; I said goodbye to my Sprocket (also a tortie) Friday morning. I don't know what to do with all this guilt. How are you doing after your loss?
> 5 cats, 1 turtle and a rabbit.
>
> Turtle - tortufulo (italian for turtle)
> Rabbit - dollface (no idea why, I didn't name her)
> Fred - tuxedo cat (my mother says she named him that because he is plain and friendly)
> Mischa: silvery grey cat (named after Baryshnikov because in his youth he was a magnificent jumper)
> Placido: black cat (named after Placido domingo because he can really yowl)
> Tiger Lily: tabby/calico cat (she's orangey, has stripes, very fierce and the family tradition is to name girl cats after flowers).
> Pasturella: New kitten, white with black spots (names Pasturella because when I had to take her to the vet she bit me and I was in the hospital for a week with a pasturella infection. I love her anyway).

> And, Petunia, who was a tortoiseshell cat, who was just put to sleep on wednesday after 16 years - she was part of the flower tradition (we also had a tulip and a daisy).
