We Lost A Cat Today

He was more than that. To all of us. His son, Scamp, has been really depressed and just lethargic. His "woman", Pixel is the same way. Billy was the instigator with running fits and got them all playing together and runnin all over the house. Now that's gone. They aren't doing anything. Scamp has been really close to Kitty taking her every step, because he knows something's wrong. They all do. It's funny that even in their grief, they're trying to comfort and console us. Animals give their love so unconditionally. It's amazing to see.
I know that feeling all too well. It's not just an emotional feeling of absence, but you can physically feel the void they left. It's painful and doesn't seem fair sometimes, but they enrich our lives in ways nothing else can.

Animals are given something extra in their souls, sometimes I feel like they've evolved emotionally beyond what we're capable of "seeing."
