DC, I'm also a huge cat lover, and I understand what you're going through. I've had to go through several cat losses, the most recent one being one we had for many years, and we lost the only dog I ever had (about 13 years) just a while back, as well. It's a huge heartbreak, because they're just like family, so I'm extremely sorry for your loss. Just take comfort in knowing that your cat is okay, now.
