I can never understand how people would never want to get another pet; they just don't want to lose them again....but what a joyless life it would be without them! Before we started the cat rescue, every time one of our cats died, I'd rush over to our vet the very next day and ask whether they had any cats (he always has abandoned cats) - I didn't even ask questions, just grabbed the first cat that was available. All turned out to be the "best cats ever", as if they weren't all the best cats ever, anyway, right? Natalie

So many people struggle with this. I used to have my own pet grooming business and had this come up every so often with customers. So sad. Some vow to never ever have another pet. I always told them that they were such wonderful pet parents and there were so many that needed homes. But I never thought to say it was a tribute to the pet that died. Such a wonderful perspective.
