Herc, I pray that your other cats find peace and ways to deal with their loss also. I know our Hank missed Tom so much after he passed away. But it seemed to actually become a growth experience for him. He got a lot closer to us, for example, letting us pick him up and snuggle him, and he was never really a "people cat" before that. Good for you on caring for those babies. It does help to have young life in the house. Good luck with them, and take care.
