The whole thing with pets is so interesting and I don't think even half understood. When my little parrot died I was devastated. Over the next year I did research into grief and pets, and a detail I remember is that people often grieve as much, and not infrequently more, than they do for core family members. It's real, and it goes both ways.
Yes for sure! Your bird was your best friend, your child and more. I definitely felt like these kittens knew too that I was taking them back yesterday (their return date boo hoo) and they were sad/confused.

May Bastet wash the top of your head for fostering those kittens.
That’s beautiful; thank you!
