Thank you for sharing. I hope writing about it helped get some of the heaviness off your chest. It really never gets easier, yet we continue to let them into our hearts anyway. We've lost 2 (Grumpee & Poopee) during the lockdown and another (Soju) just a few months ago all due to sickness. Despite the pain from the loss, my mum brought home a kitten last May who has grown into a handsome boy (Itan). He was also ran over; thus he walks (runs) with a limp, but unlike Jacob, he's still a wild child. His looks and sass is that of Poopee and his cuddlebug nature is that of Grumpee. He has become a companion and bestfriend to Sukhye (Soju's brother).
In July of this year, my calico cat also died. It was a sudden death, and my family suspects that our neighbor poisoned her.
PC got me through tough times during the pandemic. As an adopted stray cat, we may have given her shelter and food and everything she needed, but she’s given me and the family so much more.

So sorry to read this. Sending you virtual hugs!
I hope you’re ok now. I am yet to experience losing an adopted cat. I’m more worried with how my wife and kids will take it.
I am not even fond of cats, but I cried after reading this. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for such beautiful writing as usual.
Ahh this made my heart hurt, and I could not imagine how bad it must have been for you. Thank you for all you do for the cats.
Was sobbing loudly reading the last few paragraphs. Thank you Jessica for sharing this heartfelt story
I am owned by a rescue ginger cat. This broke my heart. I hope you feel better.
