That is so sad. They are so sweet together. It's really hard. I am glad that we live longer than our cats because otherwise, we could not know (with some certainty) that we will always be able to care for them. But it really sucks to lose them.
I have never had a friend like my cat Aslan, who passed away over a decade ago. Never had a cat like him either and I know I never will again. However, the cats we have now are lovely in their own way.
Sad yeah, but I got to spend 22 years with him and that's what I hold on to. He was a lovely little fellow, and loved Cleo so much from the moment she came into the household as a six week old stray.
Aslan, like from Narnia? Cool name.
