I haven't visited here in a few days, and I am so sad to hear about Baby and Buster. Prayers for you both, Karuuna and Baby.

Hi guys,

I don't know if this is the right spot for my question. If not, sorry!

As you know I lost the little love of my life, Baby, on May 20th. I have been missing her terribly and definitely felt much more emotional about her dying the first week or so. I did lots and lots of crying then.

Now, this past week I am still missing her terribly but was able, for the most part, to focus more on other things going on in my life. I did some crying and still felt empty and so alone even through this week.

But, tonight I just fell apart thinking about Baby and now I am feeling as bad as I did the first week after she was gone. I am surprised I am feeling this way now because I have decided to get a new little one and have been busy the past couple of days with working on that project.

So, now I am wondering am I rushing things too much? Am I really not ready for another little kitty? Should I put things on hold and wait a bit more?

I honestly don't know what to think now. As some of you know, I have found Scrappy and really wanted him to come here to live with me. But, now I just don't know.

I'd say sleep on it and for sure meet him. I'm pretty sure when you have him on your lap you'll know it is right and that you'll be paying forward all your love for Baby (which won't be diminished one iota, because love grows as needed) and the pay forward will be to give a forever home to this little kitten and of course he'll pay it forward with love for you, too. He'll be happy to be there for you if you need to cry and grieve, too.

Thank you, Sea! Great advice and I am certain I will sleep a bit better after reading your post.

Oh Baby I sympathize with you so much. I can't tell you when the pain will get better cause I am still overwhelmed with grief at times. I miss Sophie so much but I am glad we went ahead and got Charlie. He has brightened my life and he is totally different than Sophie. He is all little boy and he makes me laugh hard. He will probably never go hide while we find him, or attack the sprinkler or try to kill the vacuum cleaner. But he does come and lay in Sophies basket along side me when I'm on the computer and when he barks he stiffens his legs and hops just like Sophie did...and most important he tries to wash the tears off my face when I get so sad about Sophie. So I say go for it...you will love Scrappy and he will help ease the pain!

I found it very very hard when we lost our last cat. He was simply an incredibly wonderful guy and I felt a very special connection with him.

I love our new guy as well. He is very special too but in different ways.

I think that is the entire point. You are not getting a replacement for Baby so you should be very careful not to fall into the trap of comparing them. You are getting another special friend that you will love in a different way.

Good point, Jimmer, each is unique and cannot begin to replace another.

Baby, I think getting Scrappy, or any other kitten, will do you no harm at all. I am quite certain it will help heal your broken heart.

It's hard coming in here and hear about the pain of losing beloved pets. I am very sad for each and every one of you who loved and lost your little friends. Animals are no less than the children of the people who love them, and it is gutwrenching to lose them.

Baby, I thought I'd never own another cat after losing my Julio the Mexican Wonderpussy after 17 years together. And there will never be another to replace him. But animals have a way of choosing their people, and animal lovers have a way of opening their hearts to a new special someone. It sure happened for me, and fast. I have no doubt that your new little somebody will show up soon, and will be a whole new joy for you in life. Not a replacement, but a new love. Please keep us posted.

Karuuna, you are blessed with the joy of giving, and Buster was a big part of that, too. I know you gave him the best care a horse could ever want. Thank you for sharing him with the children you serve, and peace be with Buster, who shared his sweet nature and healing spirit with all who encountered him.

Yes, she was my best friend! She and I were well suited for each other! I still cry when I think about her and I miss her so very much!

She was a true beauty..smart, kind, loving, sweet and so in-tune with me. It was amazing having her in my life!

Baby - As reported here a little over a year ago we lost our Smokey. My wife was devastated as his passing came within a week of losing her mother who died just 83 days after her father. It was way too much at the same time. A week later we were out and decided to check out a local cat rescue group. No intention of getting another cat, at least not then, but we were interested in their operation and wanted to check it out for when we were ready. Long story short, God sent us in there that day for Maxine. Mini-Max, Wild Max, or whatever her name is that day, is now fully in control of the house and my wife's heart. We still miss Smokey, as we collectively do all our cherished pets, but Maxie was meant to be ours or maybe, according to Maxie, we were meant to be hers.

My sweet Samantha had to be put to sleep today. She was my buddy. When my kids were growing up, she was their "mommy" at night. She would lick their ears and wash their hair. When my son died, she was depressed for months. She slept with him every night when he wasn't at the hospital. She did live a long and healthy life though...she would have been 18 in October. She growled today when the vet was checking her, which was typical Samantha. I held her when she was put to sleep and whispered to her to go be with her Jake. I'll miss my little girl.

I love Tortie's! My last two, Georgie Girl and Pitzy Mitzy were Torties. They are not only gorgeous they have wonderful dispositions. Very sweet gals. I miss the beejabers out of them. My current two gals Bandit and Scooter are Calicos I think.
