Our thoughts go out to the Oakes family, Howard, Mary and Paul on the death of Tess, their beloved 18 year old Domestic Short Hair kitty. Residing in a rural area, the Oakes have a lot of kittens making themselves at home on their property. Tess was born right outside their front door! She was a little feisty at first, but mellowed out over the years. She and Paul liked to tease each other. He would speak in a low voice and Tess would hiss and carry on. Later in life the two became friendly towards each other. Tess was a bit more standoffish than the other cats, but the Oakes loved her just the same. Tess's companionship will be greatly missed.
