Carol, I don't post much, but I do read every day here for the past 6 years.  I used meth for 11 yrs daily and have been clean for 6 now and am 56 yrs young.  I am so sorry for your loss, sometimes the intuitive animals in our lives can mean so very much to us.  I agree with Livesw/wolves - you can save another in honor of Mitzi.  One of the things I did and causes I took up once I was in recovery was to start a 501(c)(3) non profit rescue for cats.  We are called Angel Cat Pet Adoptions and can be found on petfinder.com, so I know just how much our furr kids can mean to us.  It's horrifying how many die in shelters because their guardian's gave them up for one reason or aother.  Maybe you could save an adult cat in Mitzi's honor from a local shelter in your area.  She will see you in heaven one day - I am convinced of that.
