Maybe this will help:
From a cat........
When humans die, they make a will
To leave their homes, and all they
Have to those they love.
I too would make a will, if I could write.
To some poor, wistful, lonely stray
I'd leave my happy home,
My dish, my cozy bed, my cushioned chair, my toy,
The well-loved lap,
The gently stroking hand,
The loving voice,
The place I made in someone's heart,
The love, that at the last
Could help me to a peaceful, painless end
Held in loving arms.
If I should die,
Oh! Do not say:
"No more a pet I'll have
To grieve me by its loss."
Seek out some lonely, unloved cat
And give my place to him.
This is my legacy,
The love I leave behind,
'Tis all I have to give.

Well said! I was trying to think of how to say the same thing.

I am so sorry about Ginger; every time I hear of a cat dying, it
hurts,
whether it's someone else's or my own...and it happens so often on

No, getting another cat is not betrayal; I see it as a wonderful
tribute to
the cat that died! There are so many out there that are in
desperate need
of a home, and if you can prevent a death in honor of your cat that
just
passed, even better! Natalie
