Are you really wondering if theres others who would feel like this over a cat............ cats and dogs...horses birds fish and all others are loved by me...... and you should never feel embarrassed about crying over anything you love and lost...... love is love...... and it hurts to say goodbye.. just think of the good times now.. and hope it soothes the pain..... i still can cry over my pacus... sure i try not too.. because i do not want anyone to feel uncomfortable.. but i never feel embarrassed.. the ones that should be embarrassed are the ones with a cold heart.. you never lived until you love a pet.. they bring such comfort and joy.. rest in peace sweet Angel
