    With all of the horrible stuff that just never ends in this world, the existential dread blanketing me over the health of my cat, this little thing… the announcement of a show I love coming back has brightened my day considerably

      I hope your cat is okay. We just lost ours not long ago, right on the tail of my mom being in ICU for a month (thankfully okay now!), and I know exactly what you mean. I broke down and cried when a friend of mine asked me out to lunch one day a few months later, because it felt so normal, and it felt so weird and strange for something to feel normal and to be happy about it. I really hope your kitty is going to be okay, but just love them and remember the best times.

        Thank you so much for this, Dharma. It’s eerily similar to what his sister (litter mate) passed away from and we’re just trying our best to hang on. My wife and I both have her paw print tattooed on us (my wrist, her ankle) and It’s only been a year and a half. We can’t lose our little dude, it’s too soon

          I completely understand. It’s sort of insane and completely wild how much you can love something that isn’t even the same species. I’ve got a dachshund who’s been plagued with spinal problems. He’s been paralyzed twice to the point where I literally had to express his bladder for him, and we’ve gotten him through it. They’re special, and so important. I really hope he’s going to be okay. Do you mind if I ask what’s going on with him?

            Hey just DM’d you as I don’t want to hijack this celebratory thread with cat-sadness. Thanks for being so kind and sympathetic
