Again, I feel for you. I didn't think that the last time I saw my cat alive would indeed be the last time I got to see him alive... I was assuming/hoping that I'd be around on the day when he did die, so that I'd be nearby when it happened, but... well, when I came home and my dad gave me the news, my mind just... drew some kind of blank. I knew he didn't have much time left, but I didn't think it'd happen when it did. I was caught off-guard, in a sense.

As much as I myself hate it, life just loves to throw the hardest of curve balls when you least expect it. You just gotta try and be prepared for them the best you can, even if you can't catch all the balls. Speaking of which, though, you still have your own cat, right?
