The more I think about it the more fear I have about getting a new cat. I know that the biggest part is opening up my heart and making myself vulnerable to this kind of pain again, but even if I can get past that my next worry is what to feed him or her.
Who do you trust? Wet food is out. Dry food causes kidney problems. Organic food is pretty expensive. Real meat is best but then you have to add stuff and grind bones etc. It's just all so confusing. John -------------------- Sadie (named after the Beatles song "s e x y Sadie") came into my life when I rescued her from a cage in the SPCA in 1991. Then she was taken from me when she ate the tainted IAMs food in 2007. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, Sadie. There will never be another like you!
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. |

Sadie's death was horrible, it scared you, no surprise there. No matter how they leave us it's painful, but thinking we were doing what was best and having it backfire is very hard.
Just remember that fear is the killer of hope and joy. Remember all the love, joy and wonder Sadie brought to you? I know you wouldn't give up one day with her, she gave you so much. Open your heart, let another baby in. I can't promise you that someday you won't hurt again, the chance is you will, I can promise you lots of love and joy, isn't it worth it? Try not to be afraid of what to feed a new baby. Spend some money on a good organic and you'll be fine. After all, it's just money, they are worth a splurge. Mine love Wellness. They also like fresh ground turkey. We feed them a little dry, good for the teeth, but as treats, not regular food. -------------------- Lori
