Loving animals can be hard...I had a cat I was very fond of years ago and he was attacked by either a male cat or a dog. My cats are all outdoor cats - I am in India right now.
He died in a couple of days but it haunted me for a long time.
I wasn't sure whether to share that unpleasant story or not. I do not know if it helps but I suppose my point was that at least your kitty will be happy.

I too drifted away from DU in the Obama years when things seemed less dire. I have liked being back.

I understand how you feel. I am a cat person too..
Feel better soon. Being here will help. It is a good online community. I almost have no other web presence but I like coming here.
