My wife and I have had many cats over the years, all rescued. I have had some pass on in my arms, some of old age and in all cases I cried because I know I will miss them and I love them a lot. I only have pictures to remind me and my wife from time to time of the little rascals. Never easy to move on but the ones that are around still keep me busy and I am able to enjoy the companionship a bit more. Take it easy my friend. Cherish the memories.
