I went through the same thing when my cat Zasper died. Corkscrew was so lonely, and he would walk around the house looking for her, it was so sad to watch. And I was scared that it was too soon to get another cat, but I decided that I would look around not rush into anything but I told myself that if I found the right cat for me I would get it. Then I found Tibby and just knew that she would be the perfect cat for me and Corkscrew, and I was right. When I first got her home I was really sad because I felt like I was replacing Zasper, but then I realized that I wasn't replacing her instead I was getting a new friend. While I may have gotten a new cat shortly after her death I know that it was right for me.
