Goodbye Paka

To add to the grief-load of the last two weeks, my girlfriend and I got home from work today to discover that our pet cat had been attacked and killed by two dogs.

Loosing your cat is a slight thing compared to loosing your father, but right now it doesn't seem so slight.

Goodbye Paka.

Sorry to hear of your bereavements. I felt very silly when we thought our cat was dead, to be so deeply upset about it, but they really can become part of the family. *big hugs*

Thank you Span.

It's no sillier to grieve for Paka, I guess, than it was to care about him in the first place. (In other words: not at all). Definitely family in his own feline way.
