Default RIP Sooty

Just got told that my aunts cat Sooty has died in a kitchen fire, thought to be caused by an elercrical fault with the oven. She suffocated in the smoke before anyone could get to her. She was 16 years old, poor old kitty

Default Sooty

Sorry to hear about Sooty, it's a bad way to go. Hope you let your aunt know that there are folk out here thinking of her. Will she get another pet, do you think, or is it too soon to tell?

I doubt it, she still has a dog but she works away a lot now and travels throughout the North and Scotland so it wouldn't be fair on another pet.
