First of all, thank you to everyone who commented on my previous (locked) post. I will be replying to your comments when I can handle doing so. I really appreciate your words, truly - I just, wound is raw, you know?

Summary for those who can't see that post (with apologies): Last Saturday, the one remaining cat I thought of as "my cat", Spike, was put down due to suffering from kidney failure. Fortunately, his decline was sudden and rapid, and until only hours earlier he had seemed happy and relatively okay.

I've been grieving, because I loved him. And it was too soon after Tabitha's (sudden and horrible) death, so even though I knew it was coming (he'd been diabetic for a couple of years, he hasn't been eating lately, he'd been losing weight fast), I still wasn't ready.

Or maybe no-one's ever ready to lose a pet who's been around half their life.

It's not the only reason I haven't posted/communicated lately; if nothing else, this was followed fairly closely by my getting sick, and I crashed out for a couple of days while my body shut down and rebooted.

There will be posts of substance soon, I swear. I have many comments to make on many topics, I just am still booting up, so.

I don't think you're ever ready to lose a pet, no.

Take your time.
