It's been nearly 3 1/2 years since Troy died from hypertropic cardiomyopathy just 2 months off his 6th birthday. I couldn't think of having another cat as I couldn't live with the hearbreak.
However a couple of months ago I went to a Cats Protection open day and even though I felt all wobbly inside seeing all the cats, I left my details. As Troy was black and white I wouldn't have been able to have another as it would have been so hard.
Yesterday I picked up Haribo from Cats Protection. He's 11 weeks old. White with grey and tabby splodges.
