Please know that most of us on Cat of the Day understand and have sadly also felt your pain at the loss of one of our furry family - they are our children. To say that because of that pain one would never help another cat who needs the kind of love we have to give would be a tragedy and no doubt not what one's departed kittycat would want either. The love and care that we give during their lifetime and the love and joy they give back to us dictates that there will be pain when they are gone - but we have to eventually pick ourselves up again and do as you have done, and help another well deserving pussycat, like Micia. Imagine your life without her and what may have happened to her - unthinkable I'm sure. For us animal lovers, there is pain in our future, but it's all part of the love we get while they are with us. I lost my beloved Beyli on January 1, 2009 and miss him tremendously each and every day. I have gone on to adopt Caramel and Riley and can't imagine life without them, but of course wish I could have all three with me! Take care and enjoy your time together for many years to come.
