Ah Nina, please do not feel repentant or sad, Spencer has found the energy to communicate directly and compassionately to you.  If there is one thing that we can not lose it is faith in these cats to know life in a way that is much simpler and purer than we can.  You have been open to his desires a

Nina, he is probably hiding somewhere very close to the house.  But he will probably also be hard to find if he does not want to be found.   Bruce is right, you know. I understand your franticness, and I would feel exactly the same way.  But what you really did, objectively, was give Spencer

Nina, I know that must be really hard to deal with, but I must say, I agree with your partner, if he chose to go out on his own, then it is what he wanted. Cats are very much individuals, and perhaps he just needed to be alone, to face his own end. Keep the door open all night, maybe he will
