I miss my fur babies.

kittens (not the 'all cats are kittens kittens' but real young ones) are terrifying
was so sure I'd accidentally step on Bika or crush her in my sleep...I'm clumsy and she likes sleeping under my arm and I toss and turn a lot, and as a lil one she was so quiet (lol now, she howls like a banshee as stripey cats are wont to do)
was so thankful when she grew up past the 'must try not to accidentally kill her' phase
get two grown shelter cats. have a neighbour or relative to take care of them when you travel or just take them with you. one cat per person for inflight carry-on. if you travel a lot get 'em a pet passport, for years I took my cats on so many trips to new countries. they weren't exactly pleased with the travel but liked the new adventures
the most expensive part is the vet check-ups leading up to flight but we're talking a couple hundred, not thousands. even if it's more than one cat per person and they have to go cargo. was like $300 each or such in that case, compared to less than a bill each inflight. vet bills like 1-2 bills depending on destination nation
in hotels don't even say you have a cat. long as they don't tear ish up who cares? I've done this so many times, and concierges stayed mum and brought them so many little treats
get a cat, or better yet two. older the better. not me but thank them later. they'll light up your life everyday

for real? no judgement but seriously, one heartbreak (I do not write that lightly, I know how it feels and I am so deeply sorry for your loss) and you're done? you have love to give, suck it up and get on it already. visit a shelter, or have someone do it for you
