Welp, I couldn't ever say it better than this. I agree 100% There's no reason to mourn more than you have to.Originally Posted by mrblanche
I'm going to respond with a little feeling that I have posted here many times before.
Every cat leaves a hole in your heart exactly the shape of that cat. No other cat can completely fill it, but in making its own place in your heart, it will help make the previous hole hurt less.
It sounds to me like you're more than ready to help another kitty. If you walked into our shelter and didn't walk out with a new love, I would feel I hadn't helped you to the best of my ability. You can never exactly replace the cat you lost, but a new one can bring you new joy and love, new experiences, new playthings, new sleeping spots, new tummy-rub needs, etc.
