TW: Loss. I had to say goodbye to my best feline friend, Kitty, two days ago. And...I have not been in a good place at all. I didn't realize how impactful her absence would truly be until last night when I sat down in my office to try and work on the growing list of things I need to finish. She and I were a team; I found so much comfort in just knowing she was in the room with me. She helped me heal from losing my first cat in 2017, then continued to help me get through my divorce, moving, and the pandemic. She was my little shadow when I was at home and now, I am experiencing a new level of loneliness I'd never felt before. 😔 I keep expecting to see her appear around a corner, or rub against my leg so I take a break from writing/drawing...little things that made me feel safe and not so alone. Anyway. I appreciate everyone's patience with me as I work through this. I didn't expect this to happen and thought I'd have more time with her. I've lived in a house with cats longer than
