PROPERTY / MOVING THROUGH GRIEF
EMPTY-NEST CAT WEEPS AS LAST KITTEN LEAVES. HAS A TENANT BY FOUR.
The nursery is empty. The deposit has cleared.
Marjorie wept as her last kitten left home on Sunday, telling neighbors she had no idea how she would cope with the terrible quiet.

The kitten called to say he might come home next weekend. She offered him the family discount.
