Re:
I really feel for you, I'm in a similar position myself with my dog, big C again. He was diagnosed purely by chance when he was in for a checkup three years ago.
He has now had numerous operations but last Christmas they said there was no more they could do. He seems fine up to now , but it's just a matter of time. I'm dreading having to make the same decision you just have.
I have to agree with Mike's comment above, although another cat will never be a replacement for Michah I think it would lift your spirits, you can't help but laugh at their antics.
Take care,
John.

Re:
Thanks for the kind words, I can really use them now.
It's tough here. I briefly went to the office yesterday, and upon arriving home Yuna checked out my backpack, checking to see if I brought Michah back in it.
Whenever there's any noise in the house her ears go up and she tries to locate the source, as if she's expecting Michah to come out of a hiding spot. I have no idea how to make her realize that she is gone forever.
I do find myself occasionally looking for her too though, somehow hoping that the last few days were just a bad dream.
The worst bit is waking up. Every single night they would both lay against my side and they'd stay there until I got out of bed.
Now I wake up and feel Yuna on one side ... but nothing on the other. So the second I wake up, I sense that she's missing.
It's going to take some time to get over this.

Re:
Even with four cats we were completely devastated at losing the youngest one two years ago and the place felt empty without him so you certainly have my sympathy.
It will take a very long time and you'll definitely still be thinking about her years later - it does get less painful with time though. I would agree with the others that getting another cat before too long (maybe not necessarily right away) would be the best thing. It will never be a replacement and shouldn't be thought of as such, but will definitely help remind you that life does go on.

Re:
It is possibly the worst feeling I have ever known to lose our two last year. So I can only empathise and offer my heartfelt condolences.
Those daft fluffy annoying infuriating loving personalities wiggle their way into our lives and leave a bloody great hole when they go.
