  Thank you for your condolences. Ciera will be missed by many.

  Yes, we all have to say goodbye one day. But the experiences we enjoy together before that time, make it all worth while. Thank you for your condolences.

  Capone, my district overbeer,

  Thank you for your condolences. Yes, I got attached. It's so easy to do, ya know?

  The theme to the Andy Griffith show? Now that is precious. Give your cat a warm hello for me. Thank you for your condolences.

  Yep, there is one in every crowd. These people need to remember that we are discovering new things every day regarding our animal brethren.

  Wasn't Ciera a sweetie? It was my pleasure to introduce you that day. Her response to you proved to me what I had already suspected--you are a great guy.

  My newest, sweetest friend. You had me LMAO over the cocoa puff remark. I miss your wit and it has only been a little over a week since I last saw you. Thank you for your condolences. Give my love to "rambo gerbil" or is that "ninja gerbil"? Nowadays, a gerbil has to be a little of both.

  Love,

  Robyn

  Ciera's Obit: Posted on Thu, Mar. 20, 2003
  Puma dies at KC Zoo By MATT CAMPBELL The Kansas City Star An elderly puma, or mountain lion, died in its sleep early Sunday at the Kansas City Zoo. The female cat, named Ciera, was 19-years-old and had been treated for years for spinal and kidney ailments. The animal lived about five years longer that the species' normal lifespan, zoo officials said. The cat had been provided with air-conditioning in summer, soft bedding and low platforms for resting. "She lived a long, healthy, quality life," said chief zoo veterinarian Kirk Suedmeyer.

  Hey Robdar.

  I meant to comment upon this thread earlier, but here it is, so here I am.

  Yes, I can imagine how you must have felt with the passing of this beautiful feline. Cougars/Pumas (from North/South America) are incredibly beautiful.

  Their slender bodies and appearance leave one with an appreciation of the vast animal kingdom.

  I have only seen one in the wild. We watched in amazement and we were all quiet and speechless. The cougar (puma) was crossing the road into a neighbouring field in front of us(we were in a car). It was a magnificent creature.

  Sorry to hear about the passing of Ciera.
