I a...I am really sorry to read this about your cat. I am a dog person; but I do understand the love we have for our fur babies.<br /><br />In my life there have been 3 special dogs. (I am 57) One my ex-husband kicked and paralized him; I had to put him down just before my oldest son was born. (yes, he is an EX) Then years later I was lucky enough to have another dog come into my life. She saved my life really. My EX husband went to court to get custody of our sons. He got "joint" custody that was whacky as heck because he was military. He got a custody arrangement of 2 years with HIM and 2 years with me. Now understand that these boys did not know their father really. We had been seperated for years and he was just a 'voice' on the phone for more than 2 years. So he came back, picked my sons up (one was 6 and the other not yet 3) and took them more than 2000 miles away. I almost went crazy. He would not let them talk to me on the phone. I swear I was very very close to taking my own life..then a good friend (now my husband) gave me a cute mini doxie to love and care for. Her name was 'Mutt Mutt' and I adored her. She lived 18 years. I swear she knew she saved my life.Now, all these years later I have a mixed breed dog that my youngest son gave me. She is 14. Her name is Beulah Mae and I adore her.<br />So this is a long post to say I am sorry. I believe that dogs and cats go to heaven too. I hope to have Mouse, Mutt, and Beulah on my lap in God's house one day.<br />You have my prayers for God's grace.
