I get so upset and cry

[cooncatbob]

Meme absolutely adored me, I don't know why I certainly didn't do anything to deserve it but she chose me to be her human.
When she died I was crushed, no other cat could take her place, but I'd grown used to having a small friend in my life and I acquired Samantha.
Samantha was as different from Meme as two cats could be, Meme was abandoned in the office park I worked at and rescued by the girls that worked there, Samantha was a Pedigree Maine Coon who never knew hunger, sickness, abuse or lack of love her entire 16 year life.
She was a confident kitty, not needy in any way, when I first got I lamented that she wasn't loving like Meme, but I won her heart and we bonded, I also excepted her for the car she was not the cat I wanted her to be.
She didn't replace Meme in my heart she made her own place beside Meme in my heart.
I hope they're together on the other side waiting for me.
For my part I know I need to carry on the legacy of love that they taught me even though it will end in death and mourning, it's part of the circle of life that we all share.
On this form there are stories of births of new kitten, people who have acquired their first kitty, there are also stories of people with an older cat who's health is in decline and finally there are the stories of those of us who've lost a dear little friend.
It's a microcosm of society as a whole.
