Hello, i am new to this website, and the main reason i joined is because i am having anxiety over a new pet. Before i got my new pet (Bella) i had a cat named Kiro (grey persian) who has been my friend since i was born. We found out he had mammary tumors in 2015, but the doctors said the only way to help her was euthanasia. In 2016 we found out that we could have cured her but it was too late, she passed away on the 23rd of may 2016, she was getting worse and worse so we took her to the vet to get euthanasia, but she died naturally when we got into the office. Just writing about her death makes me tear up. It has been almost 7 months since she died,since then we moved out of the apartment we lived in, and we decided to let a new cat into our life. We found Bella (a white persian) up for adoption, her old owners had a lot of persians and she just didn't fit in. If someone didn't take her they would leave her on the streets. I instantly loved her, but now the more i spend time with her the more she reminds me of Kiro. I know that it wasn't smart to get the same breed but before i got her it felt right. Now i feel like i betrayed Kiro. I don't want to give her back or put her up for adoption, i just need advice on how to deal with this feeling of sadness. My family is totally fine with her, and i don't want to bother them, and i got no friends that had a cat that would help me (when Kiro died mostly everyone i knew told me "its just a cat, get over it").
I'm sorry if this post didn't make much sense i am all over the place right now with emotions.
