Oh boy, if the otters didn’t get the tears rolling, this did. Sorry about your cats. We are cat lovers as well and have a pair that have been together for years. Thinking of them passing on is painful.
I now have two beautiful dogs and wonder how each would react to losing the other. Makes me sad to think of. Of course, losing my only cat, who just turned 17, would send me over the edge. She's been with me through every major event in my life. Just don't want to think about it...
