[Felvtalk] Benny

[Emily Hunter]

April,

The pain and grief is horrible. We lost our Denzel 13 days ago, and I  
still choke up terribly when someone asks about him. I get through it  
in two ways. First, my five other housecats and my feral colony still  
need me, and they have been extra affectionate since Denzel passed.  
The other thing that comforts me is the knowledge that Denzel is happy  
now, playing in the bright fields of heaven. He loved being outside,  
but only got to go out for a short time each day since someone had to  
be with him to make sure he didn't come into contact with other cats.  
When I compare these two scenarios, I know that as much as I wanted  
more time with him, I still love Denzel too much to ever wish him back  
into the body that limited him so much on earth.

Know that your Benny is happy and purring up there, free from sickness  
and pain. You did all any cat could ask for, helping to ease his  
suffering while he was still here, and I'm certain he loved you for it.
