No pressure, no obligation, and grief is a complex, multi-faceted pain that no words can adequately describe.
So with all kindness, love, and care
the cat distribution system may be trying to help you in it's own weird way.Your love for Melbcat is not dishonoured or diminished by liking another cat. The heart is infinite in it's love, and is not depleted by loving more.
I'm thinking of you and sending you my love π
Thanks Spud.
It feels like the cat distribution system has glitched because itβs way too soon. I have no idea if Iβd be able to keep him. I feel like Iβm delaying my grief. And the ringworm thing/uncertainty are both sending my ocd crazy.
I just hope it works out ok π Iβm just trying my best
That's all anyone can ever ask of you β€οΈ
