My cat. Was sitting on the edge of my bed, .40 loaded and in my lap. I don't remember much as it was like being on autopilot or walking through a haze, but before I put it to my head, she tried to get my lap. It made me think about what would happen to her if I wasn't there to care for her. Probably end up at a shelter, never to be adopted and eventually put down. So, for the next few months, I lived for her until the VA could finally help me.

I'm glad you're still here. I'm certain your cat is too.
