Update...

I'm sad to report that friday at 0500, Ricky died. He wasn't eating much on Wednesday and threw up a couple of times. My grandma had just switched his food so they figured that was the reason. Granny went out of town on thursday and left the cat with my grandpa. Papa said that he was up all night with Ricky thurs. night until he died. I didn't ask for details..I didn't want them. Papa buried him in the backyard and my grandma is going to pick out a new kitty when she gets home. She was devastated when papa told her. She cried and cried according to my mom. Anyway, I found a couple of beautiful kittens that the Cat Connection in PetSmart so I think we're gonna go and get one for her. I adopted my cat, Roberta, there a couple of years ago and I highly recommend them. I wish I could end this with a cute little anecdote but sadly I cannot.
