I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Indy - my condolences. It sounds like you had a great life together that ended very suddenly.

My cat died in my arms 1 week ago and I am surfing FT right now partially as a distraction from thinking about her. It is amazing how the personalities and characters of our pets become such a big part of our lives. Dibby the cat was a great traveler and had been with me for 16 years. We met at the Vancouver Animal Shelter, where she literally stood up in the cage and batted at me to get me to notice her (I second supporting your local shelter/SPCA). I am thankful for all the time we had together, but miss her terribly.

It helped to see your post and know that I`m not the only one going through something like this right now. I hope that it helps you to know that too. Sending sympathetic thoughts your way.
