Thanks everyone for such lovely comments. This forum is great with so many nice people.
Yes Kip had a great life from the day he was born until the day he died a couple of days after his 13th birthday. He shared his birthday with my son which was always nice. A friend of my dads used to say Life if for Enjoyment and my dad thought it sounded odd as dad always thought working hard is the right thing to do. I am sure Kip the cat would agree with dads friend, everything he did was just for his own enjoyment. I should learn something from him.
Ray I agree having the power of life and death over another creature is horrible. At least I can say I put his life ahead of any financial decisions and only thought about his well being.
