Glad you found your cat! I was speaking with my mother tonight about how my favorite kitty had been dead for one year now... (I think it was 1/15 or 1/16 last year I had to put her down..)... It was one of the biggest griefs I had come across.... That kitty was always there for me.
It was just the tip of the iceberg for me - the grief that I hadn't/couldn't express or deal with...
Wishing my sweet Ginger peace - as I have every night since - nearly a year after.
