Well written. So so very sad. I loved that cat. so many good memories. Like swirting the goats milk at him when we milked and him catching it. Him curled up while I said my morning prayers. Still crying, I love you!

Had me crying, and the words still blur as I type. A very special cat, and no wonder you grieve, allow yourself time to do that. It will get better, we know it fades with time, but we never forget.

I am now off on a reverie of cats we had; one white stray I took on as mine, used to wait at the bus stop for me to come home from the nursing home, crossing a main road to do so. Think cat stories might be next, have enough to fill a small book, like you and your dogs. But sad for you, hugsx
