Hi Susan,

I am sorry to hear about your kitty passing away. Many of us have had to endure the pain and grief of having lost a pet. Over the years, I have had cats and dogs die for various reason and each time getting over it is a bit easier, but far from easy. I have shed many a tear, for days on end. Each pet has held a wonderful place in my heart and can never be replaced. BUT it seems that each time I find a new pet or pets, the new pet has such a special personality, not like the other pet, but different and guess what, I love them just as much for different reasons. I have come to know that there are hundreds of wonderful pets out there in need of our love and our care & companionship. Might I suggestion that when you feel ready, you might consider looking for a wonderful new kitty who will need you and your warm home and who will give you unconditional love that everyone needs. Little kittens, puppies and babies have such a simple and wonderful way of healing big hurts and discomforts. Again, my heart goes out to you. I spent oh so many hours sobbing over my special friends. I have new special friends and know that someday I will have to say goodbye to them too. It is all part of life. Good luck, be strong, go ahead and cry a lot and hey, remember, there is a kitty out there who needs you!
