Hi Debbie,

I've been coming back to this thread twice daily to see how things are going. A loss is always difficult to accept and it's so hard to let go, especially if, as you say Tubby used to confort you.
I can only suggest you one thing, start thinking about getting a new fur baby, not to replace Tubby, that will never happen, just because you all need a lot of tenderness a kitten may bring. Just don't waste you love in vain, use it. This way Tubby will be much happier seeing you all in abetter shape.

Take care
