wow. Sounds like a less than stellar time for you. One small piece of advice... either wait a long while before getting another cat, or if you get one soon, DO NOT get another orange one. Best to find a cat that looked nothing like Herbert, because comparisons would be inevitable. When I lost my tuxie DoorStop, we got two cats several months later, one of which is also a tuxedo, and I find myself seeing her in a flash and seeing DoorStop rather than Paddington.
Try to find a Cowboy Junkies song called "Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning". I think you could relate it to easily.
maybe this would be a good time to get involved in SCA or something else outside the house again. Put yourself out there, you know? You have friends, see them again.
I appreciate the thought, but I have lived in this house since 2002 and am working on fixing it up so I can put it on the market once the economy improves in a year or so. The SCA is a very expensive hobby that I can ill-afford right now (and which I have overspent on in the past), and I actually find that I am enjoying being able to crank up the vacuum cleaner at 8AM without bothering anyone.
I am planning on taking advantage of this time to pick up where I left off restoring my house. - I'd like to get the house looking respectable enough to have company over again. My last two boyfriends who lived with me were both lazy and slovenly and especially the last couple years it was a trial to have anyone over.
Herbert is not the first orange tabby I've had, But I get what you are saying. I am not planning on getting another cat right now because I might be putting my house on the market as soon as next year and if that is the case it will be counter-productive to have a cat in the house.
