Too soon? Help :(

As long as you aren't doing this to replace Tigger, then I say it would be alright to go ahead and get you a little kitten. You don't want to get one, and then not pay any attention to it. If you are going to love it for itself, then you are ready for another kitten.

Robyn, good luck in finding yourself another kitten.

Thank you all, you have really helped.

I was scared of wanting to replace him, as I thought it might have been a common feeling with grief, but I don't feel like I want a kitten because Tigger isn't here. I also wouldn't go out looking for a kitten exactly like him. I feel like there is room in my heart, and in this house, for another.

I also feel like the excitement, the welcoming and loving a kitten would lighten the mood. I'm not sure if that's a right reason? I've also never had a kitten since Tigger, when I was 10 years old(as Emma was an adult), and since I've been thinking about when I first got him, and how small he was, I'm getting some type of kitten fever. I just don't know if my reasons are right, but I feel good about them, except for feeling horrible because of how soon it is.

Michelle, that poem is so beautiful. The thought of my big guy "running, jumping, and playing again" really hit me, as he couldn't even walk on his last day. So that is very comforting.

I'm going to think about this for a while, and see how I feel...

I feel that if you Tigger was also sending you a message. I would think it over another day or two to be sure that this is what you want. I am sure you will make the right decision.

Everyone is different and some people need more time to grieve before they can even consider adopting another animal. I think that adopting another cat/kitten will help you with your healing process. I'm sure that you'll know when the time is right for you and Tigger may have a little kitten already picked out for you. Good luck.

Tigger will send you just the right kitten and it will be exactly what you need. There is a kitten somewhere that was born to be yours, give it time to find it's way to you then life will be complete again.

I think getting another one in Tiggers memory is a wonderful way to remember Tigger.
