A week ago tomorrow (June 23rd if you don't want to look at a calendar) by dear sweet Silver passed away. This cat was one in a million. He knew when I was down, knew how to make me smile and was my baby. He was about 6 when he passed, which is young, but I feel that he had feline diabetes. I wish the prior owner had told us about his condition, we could have fixed it, or gave him a longer life.
I dearly miss him. It is still hard to be in the house without him however, life does go on...
We felt that Silver would be happy if we found another cat to rescue. Another cat that needed the loving family he had. Today, after several visits, we adopted a beautiful dilute tortoise British short hair cat. She is lovely, and very loving. She likes attention and to be cuddled and loved on. Raptor still hasn't taken to her yet, I am sure he is confused by the fact we no longer have Silver and now have her, Callie. She is beautiful and she seems to have taken to the family quite well.
Part of me feels like I am pushing Silver out, but I know that is silly. I know he knows he's loved still but that now we have the ability to rescue another. Raptor needed a friend too, he was so used to not being the only cat, that it's only natural to make sure he's not alone. He will warm up to her. I wish I could get him to realize we aren't replacing Silver, simply expanding our family.
