Vent away! I can't imagine going to work and focusing on something so cheerful during such a crazy time. Your incident on the cliff sounds really scary. I hope you can get your meds adjusted soon.

I think some people who keep unusual pets do it as a statement of uniqueness--they feel a kinship to sweet creatures that other people don't appreciate. It won't push adventurous people away!

So sorry to hear about your kitty. Go easy on yourself. You are bound to feel extreme emotions for a while since you are losing a family member. That is so sad.

Once you have had time to grieve and your meds have leveled out you may feel much better. Hang in there.
