Yes, multiple tragedies and losses of all kinds do stack up and affect our Mood and stability. It is natural to be overly concerned when your kitty disappears for a little while. I suppose you really have to let her wander wherever she feels comfortable while encouraging her to stay close.

We have lost so many beloved animal friends over the past 27 years of our family life, and it never gets any easier. We used to foster Rescued Cats for a few years and took in the frail and old to give them quality of life until the end. It was difficult, but rewarding.
