Solomonar, thanks for your kind words and considerations. I understand what you mean that every year a lot of cats are killed in nature without anyone shedding a tear - same way as lot of cats are euthanized in shelters, or abandoned.... But, those were my babies, and they relied on me to keep...
Timmer, I too hope that my sweet boy is safe and sound in someone else's home, and I simply can not find him. But it's just a hope.

I'm having a very hard time copying with the death of my kittens, and the guilt associated with it.
