Awww, Im sorry about your kitty :(  I lost my 
dog a few months ago, no one has seen him at 
all.  We drove around town numerous times, but 
he's just vanished.  It really hurts to lose a 
pet ~_~  These days I confine myself to buying 
lots of stuffed kitties...since they're assured 
to always be around!  Since I dont have a 
Tamahome to show you (he's the one thing that's 
eluded me for 3 years), here is one of my 
favorite Nuriko moments.  Nuri comes back to hug 
Miaka one last time, as even in his passing, he 
is still her protector :).  Your kitty will be 
with you always, just like Nuri is for his miko
