Oh no Beanie, so sorry to hear about Mr N. 😔 That's really hard especially after losing your other boy so recently. 😢 Make sure to look after yourself and grieve properly as well, losing an animal is even harder when they've been with you as long as Mr N was. ☹️

Oh beanie 😔 you need to give yourself time to heal, you've had so much to deal with in such a short period of time it's overwhelming 😢 losing two members of your family is unbelievably sad and the shock you must be feeling is crippling but eventually you will be able to think of them again with a sense of joy as opposed to all encompassing grief. There is nothing that anyone can say or do to make this better for you at the moment but we are all thinking of you and sending virtual hugs x8

Morning Beanie, just take it one day at a time, that's all you can do. I can't remember what it's like to not have at least one fur baby in the house, I would absolutely hate it. I know you probably don't want to think about it right now, it's too soon, but I think you should rescue another cat to keep you company, maybe a younger one this time. Take care of yourself too xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
