I know that pain, mdk. I had to put my Toby Cat to sleep about 17 years ago. I was totally undone. My bible study teacher called me long distance and I just poured out my heart about how upset I was. He said I don't understand this! Your entire family disowns you years ago and you weren't moved at all. Your cat dies and your falling apart! (he was not an animal lover)I am not a very emotional person and I pride myself on my ability to keep things together, but bawling my eyes out at the moment. I hate this feeling.
I told him my cat was always there for me, the best friend a person could hope for, and a great comfort. There is nothing like having the perfect cat. God gave me that cat!!!
Shortly after my husband felt so bad he got me two cats to replace Toby but even though they looked like Toby they were not Toby and I never bonded with either of them. I felt bad about that for them. I did keep them and took good care of them but it was never the same relationship I had with my Toby cat. Eventually the cats died (one of old age, the other one was kidnapped by a wicked neighbor who had it in for me - I prayed that guy out of the neighborhood).
So one day I found a skinny homeless cat in a church parking lot. I took her home and she was a perfect cat for me. Then I found a kitten in the middle of a highway and rescued it. Both cats have been perfect cats and we have bonded like a little family. I also rescued another one afterward too but that one moved on to another family.
When you are ready that day will come for you too but right now you'll have to go through that grieving process and I'll be keeping you in my prayers for comfort because this is a difficult time for you.
I'm sending you a hug.
