How are you doing swrinfla? I know this is still a very hard time. You've been in my thoughts. My cats are my babies. I know your pain. I had to put my two dogs down, at the same time, two years ago. Both very old, and both different problems that were not giving them quality of life. I'm just now starting to be able to laugh about the crazy things that Earl (my pug) and Addie (my corgie) would do. I had all the cats, plus 2 dogs. Quite a housefull. My husband is a veterinarian and I know that's it's very hard for the doctors too. He had his own practice for 35 years, so many times he would know the dog or cat from birth to the end, that was very hard on him.

I have not replaced my pups yet, mostly because of the move and traveling. But I do agree that there's a kitten out there somewhere that needs your love and kindness and I know you'll find each other.

It's strange but close to the time my Dad passed away, he began "seeing" all the pets we had had. He was a devote animal lover. I absolutely believe that we see our loved ones again and that includes our pets. They are family too.

My thoughts are with you. chels
