Our kitty passed last Monday and we were expecting his passing but not the loss it has had on us, I miss him so much. I still hear him, sometimes think I see him, it's been hard. After twenty years of having him with us I didn't realize it would be this hard. Now I can relate to friends who lost pets after just a few years, their pain, but our kirdy was by my side at 10, 15 20 years old and thinking I'm doing something right to keep him alive this long. My sister had 5 - 7 cats at a time and they kept getting sick and passing away....... why, she didn't know how to take care of cats. Our kirdy had a healthy and fun life with lots of memories because of us. Now I feel an empty space, should I get another kitty?????
