Cat was a positve in the band that made them cool. She balanced the band out. Watching her play and be beautiful standing there helped the band as much as Grace is the front show-woman. Every one has a part to play and Cat fullfilled her role as well as the rest of them. I'm dissapointed she has left the band. They don't seem to be as important to me now as when I saw Cat playing with them. It's kind os like when Ace Frehley left kiss. It was never the same after that. Same with the Beatles. When John left, had they replaced them, would it had been the same? Hell NO!!! If Cats reason is for leaving is medical reasons as I read she has diabetes, the band could afford to have all the requirements met that would have been proper for her care.  A lot of people have it and lead normal lives. I do. No excuses. Cat helped make them what they are and deserves credit for it also. I don't know what happened, but it is the worst time for her to leave as the band is a rocket taking off.  Good luck Cat. People work at this type of success and dream of it. It seems odd you would leave now? What really happened?
