I lost my Wolfgang kitty after 15 years, last ocotber. I do not like children. I know better to have any, they make too much noise, and too many messes. I prefered a quiet kitty that liked his tummy rubbed, his cat food bowl always full, his box cleaned.
I will never have children.
and I felt the way about my cat as most people do about their children, so I don't see much difference. Basically I lost a 15 year old I raised from birth...
Same thing to me.
And when within a week after losing him people were emailing me with kitties I should get, i felt the same as if I lost a child and people were telling me to just go get another... ugh.
At least I'm smart enough to know not to have kids...
(and for those-you dont' have to admit it... that don't much care for children, or for parents who are CLUELESS- not saying anyone here is!!!!! - i go to this site occasionally...)

You NEVER hear this from someone who has a child. (Comparing the loss of a pet to that of a child)

Some people are so gifted, they are able to have children, AND pets! Take some quiet time to ponder that thought.

Fatty liver in felines is pricey. My cat, Spridle had that and it cost about the same. He's over that, but has diabetes now and is on insulin (injections) daily.
