Dear Hideyo, To have gone from Feral to being cuddled in your arms - you did a wonderful job and gave Hannibal so much love. He doesn't have a single regret, only great love for you.
Please know that you are in my prayers during your time of sorrow. Take care of yourself so Hannibal can guide another lost kitty into your life.
