Sorry about your Loss.
Pets are really like Family.. time we spent and that connection is speechless. I have special place for Cats in my heart but the only reason I don't have any pet is it breaks you when they left and we can't do nothing about it.
Whenever I see street cats or dogs It just give me a reason to smile and try to feed em. Again, really sorry to hear this. Glad you shared your feelings I hope you're feeling better. Stay strong!
