sp00ns - super sorry for your loss. No words from a fat guy in Denver will take any of the pain away. But at least you know you've got a network of people here who care.

I do, which is good because it seems like most of my IRL friends are not around.

if a friends cat passes away IRL does it make a sound?

if a fellow hubskier's cat passes away, it's like a clap of thunder in the heavens reminding us of our mortality and the importance of being present in one another's lives. It's a electronic tug at the sinews of our hearts that connect us in ways we didn't previously understand.

or something like that.

At any rate... It's a guy like me who isn't even fond of cats (and is allergic as hell to them) mourning next to you.
