Let the grief subside
Then gradually reconsider.

Think of the years of happiness and companionship, not the brief period of loss.

I have to restrain myself from rescuing every distressed cat I hear about. Two is enough, and they get on very well.

He was only a year and a half
poor wee guy, out on the road all night, frozen solid.

This happens with cats
I can't make you feel like a better cat owner but maybe see how the other one gets on, eh?

She might turn out to be a bit more road-savvy then maybe you'll feel better.

This eventually was one of the major factors against getting cats
Our daughter wore us down

How busy is the road?
And is there another door?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sat 13 Nov 2010, 0:30, Reply)

Busy, and they only go out the back door, but could easily walk round the front
Even quiet roads are dangerous......ach, its happened, and i can't/won't keep the other cat in. it wouldn't be fair

My sympathies
Dead pets are grim.

Dead pets with associated children must be grimmer.
