This is tough, I know.

Some years back I had three cats. One suddenly got very ill and died. I was, as anyone reading this knows, heartbroken. Several weeks later another cat got very sick with pancreatitis, which I've already mentioned. I was extremely distressed, because I wasn't ready to lose a second cat so quickly. Fortunately, that cat recovered and lived another year and a half. By the time she left me, I was ready to let her go.

The third cat went about a year later. All of the cats had reached a good age, from 14 to 17 or so years. Right now I have no cats because I'm doing a lot of travelling and it would be frankly irresponsible of me to have one. Luckily, some close friends have a cat and when they go out of town I get to cat sit. Hooray!

Someday I will be a crazy cat lady. I am looking forward to it.
