Dammit, I should have started earlier with this but I have been postponing it long enough.
First of all, thank you all for responding,

While I was the first couple of days at somewhat of a loss at some point I pulled myself back together, just that I had to remind myself during the first couple of morning that the cat wasn't there anymore and that any sounds I hear at the backdoor are something else.

As most people here have suggested I have been considering getting a new cat, not so much to replace Twizzel (that is not possible) but because my house suddenly felt so empty with him gone, I was so used to look after him that it feels strange not doing that anymore.

My first choice was to adopt a rescued cat from the local animal shelter, I visited them in the weekend to look around but to be honest, it was a rather disappointment; the young animals were all reserved and the older cats... well there problems with them that made it very difficult for me to adopt one.
Some cats were very anti social and others could be violent when they had grown tired of affection, of course this could have changed once in a home but I thought it was best not to take one.

So back at home I started to ask friends and family if they knew people who have a nest of kittens are are looking for homes for them.
I have also spoken with someone from the animal ambulance again and they told me that when they have cats again who need a home that they will contact me.


Buleste, I find it a bit difficult to respond to your first post, especially the philosophiocal part about "Moving on to bigger and better things".
While I could understand that in the context of a job or something like that, it gets a bit 'weird' when one speaks like that over living beings.
Sorry.


The rest of you, I will try to get to your message tomorrow (its late here)
