The loss of Valentino has been hard. Most people have been sympathetic but there have been things that have been said that are not good.
When someone loses a cat or dog don't tell them to go to the shelter right away and get another dog or cat. Don't offer someone a kitten or puppy or say I know someone who has puppies or kittens. The loss of a fur baby is hard. Even though there are good intentions those kinds of things can hurt when the pain is still raw from the loss. Allow that person to grieve. When they are ready then offer the puppy or kitten. If they want to go to the shelter be supportive and go with them but let them do this on their own accord.
I have already been offered a kitten but I have not taken it yet. He is cute. A black and white cat with an interesting mustache mark on his face. I agreed to take him around Thanksgiving. I'm not sure how I will react to him or how he will react to me. I hope it will be ok.
My heart is still broken from losing Valentino.
