My 2 caretakers-Tater and Moonpie:
Tater and Moonpie
They are doing their best to help me out in their own kitten way. They employ different methods of therapy.
One method is the tried and true "snuggles and cuddles."
Another method is to race around the apartment at 200 paws/hr at any moment. My bed is part of the NASCAT race course. I asked how this helped, and they gave me the side-eye and said,"Can't hurt."
A third method is to overturn objects or make mysterious noises in different areas. Thus actually is a good method because it makes me get up and move.
I miss Mousie and Scat so much. Something will catch my eye and I'll just start to cry. I know it will get better as time passes.
Sigh.......

Squee! 
was your first step to recovery from losing Mousie and then Scat.
Silver died in '06 I swore I wouldn't get any more because it just hurt too much when they died. I had been through it 3 times already. Held fast for 2 years until this scrawny little cat appeared on my porch and adopted me whether I wanted a cat or not. She had kittens, found homes for 4 and kept 2. Weird thing is Kira, the mother, reminded me a lot of a cat I had from age 12-28. And the 2 kittens I kept showed a lot of personality similarities to Shadow and Silver, my other 2. I started to wonder if maybe my babies had come back to me (yes, I believe in reincarnation). Okay, probably just wishful thinking, and I know I'm going to go through it all again four more times (another kitten showed up on the porch 2 years ago). But they are my babies, I wouldn't give them up for the world.
As much as losing them hurts, I've come to realize that the sheer joy of their presence is worth it.
Look at those little faces --
I'm glad you have some little buddies to help you out.
