I'm sorry for your loss. I've been through it too many times myself.

I lost my first cat, Missy, from kidney failure on Sept. 25, 2000, after 19 years together. My other kitties did their best to comfort me; the one who is now the oldest (almost 13) knew Missy was going, and began comforting me about a week before it happened. She had never paid attention to me previously.

A few months ago, I came home to find my 3 1/2 year old bunny dead on the floor, as if he had sat down to rest and failed to get up. The kitties thought he was lost and looked all over for him, but could not find him for me.

Both of them have left voids in my heart that will never fill.

Isn't it interesting how cats know what's going on? When my P Bear passed away last month, Phoebe (aged 10) wouldn't leave her side for the last two days she was alive. After P Bear left us Phoebe moped around the bedroom for days, looking for her friend. She now has adopted P Bear's spot on my pillow as hers, and has taken over as my "groomer".
