Thanks, Bug. Yeah, it's so freaking sad to lose them but I wouldn't trade it for the world -- just like you.Bugster2 wrote:I am so sorry for your loss. I have been there many times. Since I have been married all of the cats we have prefer my DH over me except my last cat who prefered me over my DH. We lost him ten years ago and I still miss him. I swore I would never get another cat again because it is just too painful to lose them. But here I am with two more cats.
We'll go get another older laid back cat soon who will hopefully get along with Lola -- I figure a mature fixed male is our best bet for her. She used to fight with the female fixed cat, Retro, who lived next door but no problems since that cat moved away about 6 months ago. I just want to hold Lola so I can tell her that Fred is gone so she'll stop looking for him. But that comforter that he slept on the last night and went to the vet on? We left it downstairs on a sofa when Brian came home and Lola has slept on it every night since -- she burrows in between the folds (it's folded so it's about 3 feet square and thick) and makes a little nest. You can't even see her unless you go pull up a couple of flaps -- and there she is, all tucked in her little nest. I'm sure she must be lonely as I'm lonely for Fred and he was her only feline companion. I'm trying to get ready to go to the shelter but just don't want to start bawling when I get there. My screen name is not a misnomer...
