Dear Magenta
I LOST both my cats in November.
The oldest, Jack, had cancer and I had to get him put down which broke my heart, and destroyed me. I can’t get over it.
The youngest Midge, had a heart attack the vet thinks.
My home is so empty without them I miss them so much.
I thought about getting another animal, but I can’t bring myself to, please can you tell me if they are both together and happy.
I feel Midge gave up when Jack died, she didn’t seem to want to go on living.
Sometimes I hear their bells and swear they are still around me.
Am I right or is it just wishful thinking.

Dear Christine
BOTH of these beautiful cats are happy.
Midge appears as a wee tortoiseshell, and Jack a big long-haired orange and white boy, both are together and happy, Jack says thank you for releasing him from his pain, he had had enough.
Midge tells me her passing was swift and in her sleep, she felt no pain.
Although, you may think you are not having any more animals, the patter of tiny paws are coming through to you in April, so be prepared.
Also M, your husband’s mum, popped in to say hello, she sends you both her love and misses you.
She is settled and happy in spirit, and says job-wise her son is to stop fretting and go for it.
Hope this helps you.
