This is precisely why I haven't gotten another kitty. It was soooo hard, I had gigi for 14 years, my kids never knew life without her. My daughter still thinks she sees her sometimes in the house, I think she was just so use to having her there.

When I told my husband it was time to say goodbye he told me no more pets, never again. He was way more attached to gigi than the dogs for some reason, I feel just as attached to the dogs. Gigi was sort of his baby and he wasn't a cat person...so he thought.
