Unhappy Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my old cat

Did I think of drinking over it? Not even once. I knew it wouldn't help and would only make a bad situation worse.

What I'm doing to soothe my spirit and feel better is adopting another cat. She's coming over this afternoon. She was a rescue and the lady that rescued her can't keep her anymore.

I need another cat and I thought it would be the perfect present to give a good home to a needy cat. So I will honor Timmy's memory by giving the same good life to this new cat that I did for him.

Life is still life, with its ups and downs, but I don't have to drink over it.

Least these animals are so very lucky to spend their lives with you.

You are such a wonderful "fur mama"

I am sorry to hear of Timmy's passing. But the love, comfort and good life he had with you is a beautiful thing.

I love you least...and I know how hard this is.
The best thing I ever did in my life (apart from getting sober) was adopting Venus.
And this only happened because I lost my beautiful Jazzy cat to diabetes.

Our furbabies come to us at exactly the right time I think... ♥

Least as a fellow cat and dog lover I understand. I feel both your pain and your excitement, I'm glad that people like you give so much hope and love to our fellow creatures.

Merry Christmas Least.

How sad to hear about your cat, but how nice to hear that you are opening your house, and heart, to another cat.

She's here now, exploring upstairs. She's quite friendly and lets me pet her. I know she'll do fine here. All I'm waiting on now is for the lady to get her shot record from the humane society so I can bring it to my vets.

"She" will be very blessed to live with you...for a long time to come, no doubt.

Ya' gotta love the Kitties. I know I do.

Speaking for...Domino, Junior, Rigaletto, Bloo and KeeKee...we are seriously "Understaffed" !
