My cat Vinnie just died

[Miss Vicky]

My heart goes out to you. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, especially when it's so sudden and unexpected.

And don't feel like you're being irrational for wanting him "with you." A lot of people do. I had my old cat, Timmy, cremated and his ashes are in a cedar box on my dresser, surrounded by framed photos of him. Most of my rats that have passed have also been cremated and are arranged on a shelf with photos of them. Everybody copes with loss in their own way, so don't think that there's anything wrong with any of the feelings you're experiencing now.

Poor Vinnie, and what a cutie he was.
