MacWolfo--sorry for the loss of your baby. I remember when I lost my himmy. She was MY cat, unlike the American Shorthair that we still have. She's my hubby's and makes NO bones about the fact that she thinks that she's much more inmportant to him than I am. :o) But the himmy was mine from the day I found her at the SPCA. Petigreed Himalayian lavender point queen. She was tiny too. She weighted 5.5 pounds her entire life--and I used to tell my husband that of that, 4 pounds was hair. She was 19 when I lost her. I didn't read or watch tv or do anything for about a week afterwards because I was so upset.

My sister's been trying to keep me busy but its the small things that set me off the most. Like last night we had a thunderstorm ... Maggie hated them, I woke up thinking I need to give her a gravol to help calm her ... ooops no not an issue anymore :0( I know time will help, but I do find it weird that I can't read, I can always read but I just can't stick to anything for long even here
