Oh, they do share our loss...those kitties who must, with us, survive the empty space when a kitty dies. Sometimes they show us in some way. My older cat, Flory, has survived the loss of two cats now and each time she cried out during the night. She is usually quiet and sleeps all night. She was expressing her sorrow.

It has always helped me to get another cat before too long. I never thought I would get over the loss of our last Maine Coon, Jake, but now I have a girl Maine Coon, Gracie, who helps to fill the gap. Still miss Jake though and it has been almost two years. So sorry about Zasper!!
