I am so very sorry for your loss.

As a cat lover who was more or less dragged, kicking and screaming, to that point of mental enlightenment, I deeply sympathize with you and especially with Katie.

I also want to take this opportunity to share with you a compilation of scripture a friend of mine once put together. I hope that in reading how highly God values animals, you will find some comfort:

I pray you will find peace, and eventually some other precious creature or creatures to enrich your family's life.

😄😇😄
