I don’t think it would be mad. Like you say, it’s just fostering. I think you’ll probably adapt anyway, even if you are still missing Princess a lot

Taking in a new cat doesn’t mean you’re not still grieving Princess, it doesn’t mean you don’t still miss her. If anything it honours her memory to take in a new cat(s) who need(s) a home.
They won’t replace Princess’s place in your heart, they will build their own place there.
I think a new cat would bring you a lot of joy but whatever you decide to do, we’re all here for you xxx

It’s not mad, giving a cat a living home doesn’t mean you are replacing Princess. She’d be happy knowing you are helping out another cat in need.

Also Sooty and Gizmo are boys, and both are the most loving and affectionate cats I’ve ever had. My mum always said girls cats were more loving, but Sooty especially now since Gizmo passed away is an exception to that rule.

i’m more worried that if they’re boy cats and they might be a bit stressed with moving around, that they might spray on stuff or piss somewhere?

We’re going to get some more info on these cats from the lady and then decide. We’re a bit worried that they might be a bit too much for us or they might be upset/stressed etc and we’re not too sure if we’re ready to take on something like that along with all the other world stresses at the moment! But i’m fairly sure they’ll just be very shy and will hide away somewhere for a while until they’re more confident.

Lovely idea- mixed feelings as well as we still miss our cat so much especially now thinking how much she would have liked all the extra fuss with us wfh.

Decided against fostering though as we can’t get to a vet easily if they needed it (too far and no car, avoiding public transport due to husband’s weak immune system).

As soon as this is over we are going straight to Cat’s Protection.

That makes sense why you’ve decided against it. We’re lucky that we can see our vets from my living room :smiley: When I signed up they said “how did you hear about us?” and I said “I can see you from my home” and pointed out the window to my flat.

Unfortunately the lady hasn’t got back to me with more info on these fosters but I think i’ve guessed who they are and my bf is not totally against it if it is them!

Jimmy and Choo!

Wonderful cats. So grumpy. Amazing paws.

Not me, unfortunately, I don’t think. There are 4 cats, Flossy who’s the older black and white one and then 3 of her kids whose names I don’t know.

Pretty much stopped taking picture of the girls since the baby was born… Sorry girls!
