he's lovely enough that after we lose the girls, i'm considering an abyssinian or a siamese like him.
...i have this problem with losing things, animals, people that i love. i know they're going to go away someday, but it never actually HIT me that THIS IS THE TRUTH--SHE IS GONE FOREVER until minna died. it hurts as much today as it did the day i called the vet and said 'i can't watch her hurt like this anymore'. i had had plans to get another cat, years in advance, and that was what i consider the worst mistake of my life...that i picked the cat too soon, and because of her price and justin's pressure, not because it was the RIGHT cat at the right time.
however, yes, i have plans already for when washu or nika goes...because i still know i need to keep myself ready...but THIS time i will meet the kittens, not take an older cat that nobody else wanted.
i am hoping to get one as regal and loving (hopefully less rough, i am delicate) as your boy.
I know how you feel. It ached like a bitch when Peaches died. Even though I believe we all join the great consciousness at the end, and I will be with her again, it still hurt.
Pedigrees can be expensive, even ones without registration like mine. I took older cats because I didn't want a 20 year commitment. Also, everyone goes for kittens and I felt good giving a home to two beautiful cats who nobody wanted.
And they are so precious to me. When I'm sad, I can cuddle them, and when I'm happy I can play with them. I love them a lot.
i don't mind the expense. and actually, i honestly would not at all mind adopting another adult, since who knows what a kitten will become, but i have to MEET the cat and interact several times before i'll even consider bringing one home. i've learned my lesson
