I think you were a wonderful cat owner and when you are ready i think you should have another kitty. There are so many cats who need a really good home like yours. I am sure the perfect kitten is waiting for you when you are ready. I hope your brother is okay too.

| I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Toki. Some cats are just special. I lost my 14 year old Persian to kidney failure some years back and there will never be another cat that special to me. But...I still have my 18 year old cat that I had when I had him and I have two new cats 1 year old ( a British Shorthair boy and a Birman girl). I think the best thing to do is to get another kitten when you are ready. It will not be Toki but will have a personality all his/her own. Time does lessen the pain. staffordmom

| Alex, I feel deeply for your loss. The loss of a beloved pet is as painful as the loss of a beloved relative or friend. When you have had the time to heal, I think that you should consider getting another cat. And if and when you do bring another member into your home and heart, don't think of him or her as a "replacement" for Toki, because he can't be replaced; he'll always have a place in your heart. Instead, think of it as an opportunity to provide love and sustenance to a critter who will provide comfort and love to you in return. And, remember this: "Cat People" are "Special People," because cats are VERY SPECIAL!

Pictures would be wonderful! Take lots of pictures! We LOVE pictures! It's also okay to still feel sad about Toki even though you may have a new kitty. So remember that we are all here for you in whatever you may need.

| We, too, had a kitten pass from FIP last Saturday. Her name was Ethel, and she was 1 of 4 siblings I fostered from about 2 weeks old, whom I named Fred, Ethel, Lucy, and Ricky (or Ricki, as she turned out to be a female). Before we adopted Ethel, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my husband said, "No more!!!" However, when my fosters' adoption time came, Ethel was FURIOUS to be at Petsmart, in a cage, instead of running around and playing at our house. Her 3 siblings were adopted on Saturday, the first day, however we left Ethel overnight at Petsmart awaiting adoption on Sunday. When I walked in Sunday morning, she gave me a dirty look, as if to say, "How DARE you leave me! I belong with YOU, you just haven't figured that out yet!!!" I called my husband who came and "rescued" her. Ethel became "his" kitten, and he adored her like nothing I've ever seen. My other cats, especially my male, Nash, are grieving, and we will never forget our little Ethel, who had 8 wonderful months with us.

| Alex, It is hard to loose a pet and it can take time to recover. The pain goes and that missing feeling doesn't linger around as much. For a while I even considered not having a pet because than I would not have to grieve over it when it passed away. I live in a rural area so unfortunately it won't take long before a poor hungry cat/kitten shows up at our doorstep. All the best to you and we love to see the pictures of your new cat.
