I refuse to believe that I could be callous to her because she is just a cat, or whatever other excuse I coulda used to avoid the pain of the situation... she was as much a friend to me as anyone else has ever been. Maybe it's not the same kind of thing as a human friendship, but she was always there for me and I was determined to be there for her.

I love her very much and have no problem saying that or acting on it.

And my life is worse without her in it.
