Oh my, Karen, I am so sorry for your loss of Cody. I cannot say very much,a s it all brings the memories back about Sydney.

I know you must feel devastated now, and also that this will last for some time. But if I can give you one advise, it is to cherish all the good memories you have of your sweetheart. The pain will soften day by day. I am also very glad that I followed the advise given to me by many PT-ers to get another cat as soon as possible. This does NOT replace the loss, but it sure helps to easen the pain

good luck to you, Karen!!
