Carso my friend. I agree. Loosing a pet is hard. They are a part of your family.

Sorry to hear that, Carsomyr. It's not easy losing a pet, especially having to put them down.

I'm sorry my friend. 🙁

🙁 I'm always sad to learn of another beloved pet passing. My condolences. I know it won't be that long before I'm in the same boat as you are now.

Thanks, you guys.

I am truly TRULY sorry, my friend. I know I don't want to think about the time when my two beloved cats will pass on to the other side because it just hurts too much. It must hurt especially at this moment because the emotional wound is still really fresh. But I've heard that, like all types of hurt, this too shall pass. Yes, it will leave a kind of scar in your heart because you can never replace such a good creature, but at least it won't be as painful. You did the right thing by posting it on your blog. I find it feels better when you have someone to share the weight of the loss. I definitely understand what you're going through and it's not silly at all to feel sad over the cat's passing. And I know you're not spiritual and all, but I happen to believe in an afterlife and that any animal who has left an imprint in the soul of a human will go to that afterlife. 🙂

Just try not to drink too much to drown your sorrows. 😉

Thanks, Twinny. Yeah I wish I could believe that too, because it would have been a comforting thought... But you know me, I'm a godless heathen and puppy-eating commuist with a hidden agenda to ruin the fabric of America! 😉 Seriously though, even as an atheist/agnostic I'll say this: Thought and imagination exists. Therefore God exists, at the very least in our minds. I'll carry the memory of that little furrball with me to my grave, and until that day, he won't truly be gone. 🙂

And don't worry, lol, I haven't been THAT boozed up lately. I actually bought a bottle of Calvados today (yes Calvados. I am a SOPHISTERMACATED drunk, damn it!), but now that you mention it I should perhaps save that bottle for a more cheerful occasion. =)

You're a commie? I know your beard was red for a reason! 😱

One of my favorite people of the Enlightenment, Voltaire, actually had this to say concerning God and the possibility of an afterlife: "It is very true that we do not know any too well what the soul is: no one has ever seen it. All that we do know is that the eternal Lord of nature has given us the power of thinking, and of distinguishing virtue. It is not proved that this faculty survives our death: but the contrary is not proved either. It is possible, doubtless, that God has given thought to a particle to which, after we are no more, He will still give the power of thought: there is no inconsistency in this idea. In the midst of all the doubts which we have discussed for four thousand years in four thousand ways, the safest course is to do nothing against one's own conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have nothing to fear from death". Brilliant man that Voltaire fellow. He was actually a Deist, meaning he believed that God set the world in motion, but isn't a significant presence in our everyday lives...an impersonal God, if you will. Although you probably already know considering what a passion you have for history. 😉 But it is interesting to know that even the most logical-minded people like him believed in God. Not saying that you have to believe the same, but it is something to think about. 🙂

Very sophistermacated indeed. XD And yes, drinking, at least for you, should only be done when you're in a silly mood already. Makes it more fun. >:3

Yeah... I have conflicting emotions about Voltaire. 😛 But as for the Deist thing, that's what most people thought during the enlightenment era. He is right about one thing though: We really can't know what comes next. But if there's an afterlife we'll find out soon enough I suppose. For now I'm content with not knowing, as I'm in no rush to reach the point where I get to see for myself. 🙂

Don't you be dissin' on my man Voltaire. D:
I can't believe he was actually hated by Mozart. lol XD
