Yes..  sadly that's exactly what happened to one of the little ones in the  
litter that I featured in my photo collection here.  She/he got too close  
to the dog that is also featured in one of the albums. And.. the little  
kitten was so friendly and yearned for company.  It was devastating to  
notice the little discarded body one day.

Thanks.  It's still not bad for a site built in 2008.  The fixed size is  
not suitable for today's smartphones though.  Today's term is "responsive"  
for sites that adapt to smartphone and small tablet displays.

I was not too excited about Wordpress in the beginning either. But it is  
the concept of CMS (content management system) that makes sense when  
posting and managing a lot of separate pieces.  PLUS.. for a site like  
that, it is nice to have older things like in the ADOPTED section to  
automatically get deleted after a set time, instead of remembering to go  
in to remove old stuff manually.  Plus you can even post-date things, and  
they show up automatically on the date you want.  Plus other things!

Did you see the fine lab, Tucker in the adoption site?  Great picture.
Not all pics that I receive are the same caliber though.  :(

Perpetual smiles on those faces.
