Hi Romy,
I kind of suspected that Koshka's time might be running out.  As someone who has also mourned a cat or two, I'm glad you do not have to grieve alone.  It is certainly a bittersweet coincidence that she departed on Christmas Eve; it makes me think of Dickens and the Coventry Carol (basically a dirge for Herod the Great's child victims).

Speaking of Olde English overtones, here's a link to a famous cat poem by a mad English poet, Christopher Smart:

I hope it brings some comfort.
Best wishes,
JJ
