We lost our gorgeous girl 5 weeks ago after a short illness and were (still are) absolutely devastated. She was so loved and our house hasn't felt right ever since.
We decided a couple of weeks ago to start thinking about another cat and having done a lot of research (our last cat was extremely aggressive so we wanted a more placid breed) we have put a deposit down on a Ragdoll kitten who is due to be born this week.
I am really excited but also feeling a whole other host of emotions. I'm not trying to replace my cat but I do worry I won't love this one like I loved her. She was my first cat (rescued at 1 so have never had a kitten) and I'm not really sure what to expect.
Not really sure why I'm posting but I think I just wanted to tell someone. I haven't told any family or friends in case anything goes wrong but also for fear of being judged in case they think it's too soon.
