Sorry for your loss. 8-( Only you will know when you're ready. If you're
having doubts, maybe you're not quite there, but like you said, it'll be a
couple of weeks until you get them.

When I lost my himmy Pandora to CRF, no way was I getting another cat. After
about 4 months I found myself wanting to see kittens. I found a real cutie
in a local pet store and told the store clerk at the back I'd take her. By
the time I got to the front of the store I couldn't do it... told them I
changed my mind. I was so overcome with guilt and sadness that I couldn't
get out of there soon enough. A couple of weeks later I was closer to being
ready. I saw little calico "Brio". Went to see her a couple of times then
waited a week just to be sure... had made up my mind that if she was still
there it was meant to be. She was... and I brought her home with me. That
was 2 years ago... and I can't imagine life without her.

Hi all, I posted here a while back concerning my boy TB. Well, he lost
his battle with Liver/Biliary disease and Kidney failure on the 29th of
August. I had to let him go...that morning I knew it was time because
he couldn't even stand up to drink. It has been awful, truly the worst
time of my life. He was like my son, my best friend for 15 and 1/2
years, and now he's gone. I have very slowly gotten better, as to
where I don't cry every day, but I still cannot look at his pictures.


Last week, I found a post on a database at work for 5 free kittens
being given away the end of September. Well, even though I swore I
would not get another cat so soon, I went and looked at them today. I
told the lady that I was interested in two of them and she would hold
them for me until I decided. They are 6 weeks old and I would like
them to stay with the mother until they are 8 weeks before I pick one
or two. I don't know though, I feel guilty, I just got TB's ashes back
Thursday and cried up a storm. I still miss him dearly, and I KNOW that
no other cat is going to compare to TB. I can only hope that if I
choose a kitten it will grow up to be half the cat TB was. What do you
guys think? Do you think I'm going about this the wrong way? Am I
getting one too soon? I'm torn.

-Nate
