Oh man that brought more than a tear to my eye and a few of them are rolling down my face. I love animals more than I love people. Animals have an innocence to them. I've lost friends around my age on average of about 1 a year since I was 16. I've lost 2 pets in that time and both times the pets take me months to recover from. My cat died a little over a year ago. She had bad asthma and suffocated to death on a hot spring day.
My girlfriend got a new ferret to keep her other ferret company and the new one got her other one really sick yesterday. She's been crying and depressed all day flipping out.
We are both animal people I guess. My dog is 12 or so and she's still really hyper and crazy. Her breed (Australian Cattle Dog) lives from 12-15, but she seems so vibrant and energetic still. People are amazed she's so old. I don't know how I'll deal with it when she's gone.
Sorry to go off on my own selfish rant there. I was trying to convey that I understand what you are going through and got a bit carried away. It's the little things about pets or people I always miss the most and are the most memorable. You'll get over it but your life is that much richer for having shared it with your cat and nothing can ever take that away. Good luck and if you feel like chattin hit me on icq... 111-914
