                <![CDATA[We are so sorry to read of your loss.&nbsp; Doubly tragic that you had to have a hand in making it come to pass.<br />
<br />
In September 1991, in Truth or Consequences, NM, the wife, her Mother and Sister were taking their evening stroll when a cat cried out for help.&nbsp; The wife, screenname Cateyes, rescued the critter and brought her home.&nbsp; From the cat's size, Cateyes estimated her to be about three months old.&nbsp; She later downgraded that estimate to about 6 weeks.&nbsp; Her front half was a pretty little redpoint Siamese, but the back half was Maine Coon..._huge_!!!&nbsp; She made her way to Fiddler's Green in February 2006.<br />
<br />
When I showed Cateyes the picture above, she said that it was our Reddle!&nbsp; Your Bella had a twin!&nbsp; If I can find a pic and scan it,&nbsp; you'll see the resemblance, if the Armorer will permit me.<br />]]>
