Whoever said "There's plenty of fish in the sea" is a fucking liar.

how soon after did you get this new cat? perhaps you haven't had the proper time to grieve the other one. eventually you can come to appreciate the new while remaining fond of the old

People who give the same pet as a replacement pet are retarded.

^^ seriously who the fuck does this? My childhood dog died 3 years ago and I still don’t feel ready for another one.

im sorry your 18 yr old cat died. im also sorry for your new cat that surely feels your resentment. im sure someone felt like helping you with your grief. dont take it out on your new cat. its as innocent in this situation as your old cat.

Try not to think of the cat as a replacement, but as a grieving buddy.
