Willie was an extraordinary cat with a larger than life personality....full of love and affection and energy.  We could not have known that the tiny gray ball of fur that we brought home from the shelter would turn into the 20lb teddy bear that be became.  I have had many cats in my life, all lovely, and special in their own way.  But Willie was one of those rare cats that only come around once in a lifetime. He can never be replaced and I will miss him always.  He was taken way too soon by a speeding car.  A death he did not deserve.  Willie, I adored you and miss you emensley. I'm sorry I was not able to protect you that night.
