Ah, thats terrible. I have a pitbull, named Evee, and I have the same kind of bond with her. If anything were to happen, I'd be a wreck. I feel for ya.
I'm sorry that your kitty died. I remember when the kitten I wanted died like week before I got her. My boss's new kitty might die too. :( Rest In Piece little Mibba Kitten, Simba.
The same thing happened to me two months ago with my kitten Stubby. He wasn't just a pet, he was my baby, my child. He loved me unconditionally no matter what. I know exactly how you feel, and I sincerely hope you feel better. It's a very hard time losing someone so special, if you're ever upset and need someone to talk to, I'll be here.
I'm so sorry.
*hugs*
