You’ve got to focus on the cat going to heaven and make it a positive thing. GET ANOTHER CAT as soon as she is ready for it.. The ONE thing that eases the pain of losing a pet is to GET ANOTHER PET TO LOVE AND BECOME PART OF THE FAMILY!!!
AMEN! Works for dogs also. I've heard some say they feel they're being disrespectful to the lost one by getting another one so soon, but it's really just the opposite. You're honoring the one who has gone by getting another one to share you heart and home especially when you can get a shelter one who may be losing it's own life soon. .
