I agree completely with what dreamtree said, it's very sad that your close friends haven't been there to support you
I really hope that they will let you know that they are there for you and if not you've always got us.
I'm positive that your lovely fluffy boy won't be holding a grudge Burakki. I'm sure he'll be meeting up with friends old and new and I expect my boys will be busy admiring his gorgeous fur xx
