Tracy, I am very sorry to hear about your Pepper. As you may well know, I lost a little tortie name Pepper also this year. Losing a furkid is like losing a family member. Have you considered getting another furkid? I have found that replacing that lost loved one with a new kitten is, perhaps the best medicine for the heart. When I had my special 2 put to sleep this year because of leukemia, of course it hurt. But I went to the local animal shelter and rescued Puma, and Happy. Both of them have greatly eased the pain of losing my Nikolai, and Prince.
