    Hugs on the cat. We had a similar experience a few years ago. So sad.

    Be gentle with yourself and each other. There's a lot going on.

    So sorry about La Belle Floof    I know how loved she was and what a huge hole in your life and heart she will leave. Sending love x
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
