    Thank you, Toni for your compassionate response. I am so sorry that your lost your Beauty Girl. Black cats are the most special of kitties and their absence creates such a void. Nicholas was the sweetest, most loving boy. He loved everybody and everybody loved him.

      Today was National Black Cat Appreciation Day. Not one friend or family member remembered my Nicholas. I was on the phone for a hour with a friend who also has a black cat and all she talked about was the husband she is planning to divorce. When I got off the phone, I felt the deep sense of alienation again from everyone I have feeling since Nicholas died suddenly before Christmas on 12/12/21. There was a lot of trauma surrounding his death because of the way Nicholas and I was treated by the last ER vet who saw him. Nicholas did not receive the appropriate medical care. I also recently found that that he had been misdiagnosed which has only compounded my grief, as I struggled to get him the right medical help during the pandemic. I lost my best friend and soul kitty.Not one friend or family member remembered my Nicholas. I was on the phone for a hour with a friend who also has a black cat and all she talked about was the husband she is planning to divorce. When I got off the phone, I I feel no one understands nor do they care how significant of a loss this is me. I just wanted to share my boy with people who love and miss their pets because his life mattered. Thank you for listening.
      • Oh no, Diana, while we didn’t know Nicholas, we certainly feel your pain and loss. He looks so much like my Beauty Girl to whom I said goodbye in February, miss every day, and am so happy I got to share a life with….. Not everyone understands the depth and strength of our relationships – but we do in this community, and I am very sorry for your loss, and very happy for all the joy and comfort and fun you and Nicholas shared. We’ll be your “furry family” ๐Ÿ™‚

          • How nice of you, Diana. You can see my girls’ pictures here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/beauty-girl/
            She was getting ‘cat’upuncture in the third photo. It helped stimulate blood flow to her kidneys. She was such a cool cat – you could do anything to her (which was FOR her), but she was almost 18 when it really was time to let her peacefully pass. I had a canvas picture made of her that I talk to and pet every day.

            I will be opening my home and heart to another soon, I hope. There are so many loving animals that deserve loving homes. Keep us posted on how you are doing, Diana. {{HUG}} Toni
