    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. ☹️ 

    Sending you love. 💓

    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 x
    I was composing what to say - And then I read this - which sums my thoughts up perfectly.
    Adding my love and hugs 
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    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 xx
    Speaking from experience ... agree with @Sun_Addict that once those initial days of mourning are over... you can look forward to I hope another fur baby...  Bubbles ( as in Bubblesmum) was my second fur baby ( as opposed to the family ones) she came after fuzzybear. I find you make your peace with the loss, that comes with pain, and think what would they want me to do? That would be to give a happy, completely spoilt and loving home to others... that time will come... for now look after yourself.

    Be kind xxxx
