I am very sorry to read what happened to your cat Sophie, I have also had cats and thank God they have always been affectionate and attached, maybe hurt trying to defend their babies, and cats when they feel sick seek to get into dark places like caves, even if they are small, I do not know why, it is very sad when a pet disappears, gets sick or worse, leaves us forever. I hope he's just waiting to get better and that he'll soon come home. I also hope that your adopted granddaughter will improve, I had classic dengue and it was not pleasant, I hope that I will never give again because the next one will be hemorrhagic, because it is the second time. Anyway, I hope you have better news soon, friend, blessings.
Thank you, matey.
