I agree with you 4 feline house. People who have not experienced the love a pet gives you do not understand the grief you feel over the loss of a pet. When one of my cats died someone even told me that it was only a cat after all... That made me so mad, my cat was with me for 18 wonderful years, I believe that is normal to be upset after you lose someone who shared your life for such a long time.

Luckily my immediate familiy understands and, when it will happen again I know that I can turn to this board as well.
