thanks all for your kind words, Milo was the gentlest sof-*test*-('") cat i've ever known, whose favourite thing was to lay on his back and have his tummy rubbed for hours, would never tire of it bless him. never showed a claw in anger, only time he ever scratched me must be when he was trying to get out of my arms, he didnt like being picked up at all
his brother was sat in the utility room in the sun this morning, curled up in a box (as they do) and i'm sure if there are "sunny spot" boxes at the bridge milo would be in one too
