Goodbye Jada!

Inadvertently, while testing out the new camera, Carlo took some of the last pictures of me and my beloved cat, Jada, who disappeared shortly after we had returned to Munich. I miss her and can't believe she is gone...
I had adopted Jada as a kitten while living in Des Moines Iowa in 2002. She appeared one day at the local animal shelter on a cold, snowy day. She was totally emaciated, had ringworm and therefore was very contagious, and had to be kept in quarantine. I was volunteering at the shelter for a few days every week, as time allowed.. and I fell in love with her and adopted her once she was not contagious anymore. Later, I adopted my second cat "Sam", who tragically was also killed a few years ago. They were lovable companions to me, who made the move to Texas with me and spent some very happy years there. I miss them both. Goodbye my loves!
