One of our cats just passed away very suddenly this evening, and Zel and I need some time to grieve. It was a completely normal day, but he had a stroke and there was nothing the emergency vet could do. He meant so much to us, and his passing was so sudden that it's been a really painful shock. Speaking just for myselfI feel like I've lost a limb--I practically mothered him from 2 weeks old. Zel has known him from just about the same amount of time, and we raised him together. it's really not fair... but that's life sometimes. Not fair, but we keep going anyway.

In any case... I'll be back as soon as I can. Either art will help me cope, or I'll need some time alone to grieve. We'll just have to see what happens.

Hug your pets, and take care of yourselves. I'll see you all again real soon.
