What better way to honor Peanut, than to give a homeless kitten a new forever home!

I think we might name the kitten Butter, so we can associate Peanut + Butter, because they are spiritual brothers in a sense.

I hope Peanut is proud of us...we love him so much, and we are doing the best we can to cope with his loss.

You just made me cry - I think that is the most beautiful and respectful and loving way to treat your little Peanut. What a lucky boy he must have been, and how lucky Butter is to have had you find him.

Beth - I felt EXACTLY the same way when my Tigger died 4 years ago. Two weeks later, a friend called me to tell me she knew someone who was giving away kittens. I felt EXTREMELY guilty, thinking this is way to early, I'm still crying every day! But after a couple weeks of caring for my new baby, I felt a lot better...like this little one was meant to come into my life at that time. Not that I wasn't still mourning that loss of my best friend, but I learned to love again and was delighted to give a new little one a home that might not have gotten the chance. And that's exactly what you did. Your love and memories for Peanut will never go away, I still get teared up when I think about Tigger. But you'll just be opening up your heart and home to a new baby, watching him grow, caring for him...and and to me, that's just sheer happiness!

Good luck to you both!!

I feel that every time a loved pet goes to the Bridge, that opens up a loving home for another in need. If I did not already have 3 others, I would have rescued one from the shelter on the way home from the vet when I had to have Fred put out of his pain. That may be too soon for some people, but everyone to their own time. I just can't stand the thought of being without a cat. You are far from a monster for opening up your heart and home to another kitty.
