I had no idea that it would take so much out of me when Muffin passed away at 21 years old. People would tell me he was just a cat. How wrong they were. I read other people stories about their friend and how much they miss them and I know how they feel. Just after Muffin left I was hugging a stuffed toy cat, it didn't make me feel better. I didn't think that I could feel that close again, how wrong I was. We went to the pet store and there he was, this brave little orange ball of fur. I found out that Bobby is brave as long as I'm near. He has helped me feel so much better. It was as if Muffin was there and wa saying that is the one. It had been so long since a kitten had been in my house. What joy he has brought to me. I highly recommend starting a new friendship. He will never replace Muffin that was to special a friendship, and he is in the center of my heart forever. I believe that we will all be with all our lost fur babies when we cross over the Rainbow Bridge togethter, so it is just a speration for a while. We will never be seperated again. Thank you for your stories they have helped me heal and not feel alone in my grief. You are all very brave and kind to give so much, it takes a big heart and a good soul to do so much for them. They give so much in return, that it is well worth all the tears. I would do it all over again even though I know we would be seperated for awhile. Take care, Muffin's Mum, Jackie and Muffin's new brothers, Bobby and Tommy
