God, do I ever understand, hun. I have the same pangs ofhe last two times I saw him I didn't have time for him-- Once, he wanted to sit with me on the porch for a little while. I could have, but I didn't. The second time, he came to me the night he left to say hi. I was in bed, and I woke up a little. I petted him a couple times, then went back to sleep. I wish I'd known that he was leaving. I worry that part of the reason he left was the diet I'd had him on, or that I'd been letting him outside when I knew he was out of shape- I wanted him to get in shape from it.
We loved our kitties the best we were able, though, and I think they know and appreciate that, despite the circumstances. :-(
I'm glad you've found such a good new friend this past year, K.
