on to business of our board......... I am so sorry to hear that your cat passed away Oneteappot. It is such sad thing. I am sure my Oreo and your Nicholas are fast furry friends.
I can remember many years ago I was on vacation and over heard two elderly women talking. One was consoling the other, I thought maybe her husband had passed away. Then I heard it was her cat and I thought oh how silly is that. Until it happen to me. When I lost my first dog Whitney, it took my breathe away. My eyes still fill with tears when I think of her now. I have since buried 2 other furry friends (Gracie and Oreo ..both cats) it is so hard and some people may not understand. But the pain is real. Just know that you gave your Nicholas a loving life. (all 9 of them).
