Edit: I want to thank everyone for their kind comments. I had a few good cries reading them. My family and I are heartbroken but we will be okay. We have for other cats to continue loving. It all happened very suddenly so please pay attention to your furry ones behavior to try and catch stuff before it gets too late.

"The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal."

- CS Lewis

It's so hard to lose someone you love, but it's written into the contract from the moment you let them into your heart. I've lost a couple cats now, and when I feel myself getting sad while thinking of them, I allow myself that moment to process, but then am sure to remind myself of how lucky I am to have had something in my life that was so great that it could still make me feel that way, years later. It takes time to get there, but I think it's what they'd want.

My condolences to you, Momo is a true beauty.
