Okay, now I mighta learned a few things about the females of the species but just what's a guy to do?

Let me back up here. My wife's cat, Timmy, age 14, disappeared about 2 weeks ago. We had some house guests and well, the cat really doesn't like anything that messes with his routine, so he went off into the woods and didn't come home.

Yeah, I've scoured the woods and put up posters with his picture and all that but here's the problem. My wife, P-Vine, has for the last 3 or 4 days been very depressed and given to long bouts of weeping at night. Well, I've been holding her while she weeps but not saying too much. Especially not saying, "Well, we'll get another cat." I ain't no idot on this one. But I don't know what to do or say. Everything I say makes her cry harder. Last night she was so upset that she hit her own self twice. Once on her leg and once on top of her own head.

Now, the ol' gal ain't a nut but I'd say she's mighty upset. Any suggestions? Either post 'em or PM 'em and I'd sure be mighty grateful...
