As Jen says, if more people cared for their pets as much as the people in this forum do, then the world for all the kitties would be that much better!

I can totally sympathise. A day after getting Pixel from the RSPCA, she became ill and we had to take her to their infirmary for treatment of an infected ear. She was gone for a WHOLE week after we'd just bonded! I was beside myself with worry and sadness. And yes, I cried my eyes out! I drove my partner half balmy saying "I miss my kitty!" constantly

You will soon be re-united with your kitty! My thoughts are with you, I know it is an awful wrench.
