One of our two cats passed away a couple days ago. Baby Cat was 18, but it was pretty sudden, and my partner and I are both grieving her pretty hard. I wasn’t planning on getting another cat for awhile, to let us have that time to mourn her.
However, I was on our local humane society’s website looking for information on possibly fostering (eventually), and I legitimately accidentally came across their adoption page. Something clicked with one of the cats on that page for me, it feels right and there are some remarkable similarities between that cat and my own sweet girl that I just lost.
Is it too soon to suggest to my partner that we go and look at this little guy? Am I just jumping on this opportunity too soon because of my own grief? I don’t want it to seem like I’m replacing the cat I lost. No animal could ever replace her in my heart, she was perfect, even when she was getting into trouble lol.
As far as my other cat goes, she is so far absolutely fine about the other cat being gone. They never liked each other much, and they’d gone back and forth between being enemies and tolerating each other for 14 years. I’m not too worried about how she’ll react to a new cat, and we plan on doing a very slow and cautious introduction just in case.
TL;DR should I wait to get a new cat?
