Tempting as it is Jen, I think I will delay getting another cat for now, as we are getting a puppy very shortly, and that will be tremendous amount of work. It is supposed to be Evie's responsibility to train the pup, however realistically, with her illness I will likely be assisting her.
Pandora, I am touched that you admire Evie and have learned from her. It is good to hear, especially with her struggling so.
