If I had one wish, it would be that they could live as long as us. I'm sorry for your loss

That's a Monkey's Paw waiting to reduce the human lifespan

Not the worst monkeys paw for a lot of the humans we currently have.

Ah man, that sucks.

They may have been in your world for a short time, but they have gifted you a lifetime of memories.

Be kind to yourself, friend.

Could you tell us some more about Church? Second time somebody dies is when they're forgotten. Tell me more.

I'm sorry for your loss OP.

What a beautifully unique name for a creature of any kind, but especially for that kitty. They look like a bunch of dust and cobwebs decided they wanted to be a cat.

My heart mourns for the piece of you that has gone unto the next journey.
