ChiKat, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. From what I've been through with my dog, I know that comes a time where you just know. But I have no idea if cats are that different than dogs.
Anyhow, {{ChiKat}}. It's a rough place.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Maria, I am so sorry for your loss, and I am so glad this community was here for you last night. And as I regularly tell my 5 year old, each person is in control of his or her own actions. (No, Peter, your sister did not make you hit her by sticking out her tongue. You made that choice.)

I'm so sorry, Maria. Echoing what everyone else said, we're here for whatever you need.
