We found Buzz on 6-13-99 in the woods behind our house. He was scared and alone. We could not touch him the first two days he stayed in the woods and cried. On the third day we caught him and he was frightened so we put him in a big enough cage with food and water. He would not let us touch him. The next night I went in to feed him and our six other cats and he was purring. I picked him up and hugged him. He was like a ray of sunshine, he was with me all the time. My sister-in-law died on 6-23-99 and whenever I was sad about her Buzz was there for me. Then on 7-23-99 when he got sick at 3 months old, we rushed him to the vet and he gave him medicine for worms, he was doing fine we thought, an hour later he died. That night I saw him running across a field and my sister-in-law picking him up. I miss him very much and wish I had taken him to the vet sooner. But I have had to visions of her taking care of him for me. The both died on the 23rd day of the month.
