I truly feel your pain...

about 8 months ago my black baby ...smitty bittys .....slipped out the door unnoticed ....she was an indoor cat and she was my buddy =)

I would drive thru the neighborhood everyday for weeks looking for her .... Praying while I was driving with tears streaming down my cheeks

I would ride up to the humane society every 3 days and see if she was up there ....

at first I was angry with God for allowing this to happen but eventually I prayed and I told him that I knew that he allowed it to happen for a reason that was beyond my comprehension

I started to get a tiny bit of peace about it after 2 months and I decided to an adopt a kitten from the humane society because my other cat " honey bunnies" was acting lathargic and depressed since her playmate was gone

I went an adopted a 6 week year old kitten ...I named her " baby girl" and soon I realize how much of a blessing God had turned my grief into

I know some people will make fun of me and call me gross but I am a animal lover.....his kitten would come and lay with me and give me kisses ...and when I say kisses ...I mean French kisses ..like a pet dog would do...I had never seen this or even heard of a cat doing something like this....only dogs

she is the sweetest cat ever and even now she still comes up to me a purrs ....lays down on my chest and gives me affectionate kisses

As much as it hurt and sometimes it still hurts when I think about my smitty bittys being gone.....I never would of gotten a new kitten if she never ran away....and as much as I lived the previous cat....my new cat is way more affectionate and loving ....

sometimes hope can spring out of the darkness

mourning is a natural process ..... This is ok and normal ....infact there is something wrong if you don't ....just don't getstuck there


here's aliitle word of advice too.....

when I got my new kitten I immediately went to the pet store and bought two collars with pendants that were inscribed with their names ...and my phone number incase hey ever ran away .... at firstbtheybhated the collars but now they are fine with it .... my two cats are females and I like to honk that they enjoy wearing them because they thik they are accessories =)

I will say a prayer for you
