- @Ruby: Yes, the heartache must be terrible to cope with. It might help to remember that you're not replacing your pet in any way. You're not displacing love onto a new pet. This new pet takes up her own space, not the space of your previous pet. And your love for this pet is separate too. You have room for love even when you're in pain and you have love to give to more than one kitty. And like you said there are so many kitties that need love and would benefit from your love!
