thank you Cathy- how sweet.
Yes, we believe in adopting a new kitty right away when we lose one- too many desperate kitties out there hoping for a loving home. Having a new one running about definitely shortens the time you can spend in contemplative mourning mode.
Our new kitty Sheba is a feisty little delight, and she and Suki are getting along quite well so far- even eating from the same bowl if the food is yummy enough.
At 7 months or so, Sheba is still pretty kitten-ish and wants to chase Suki, and so there is an occasional hiss, but not bad at all! they both sleep on the bed with us, though still maintaining some respectable distance between them. lol!

We already have a couple of funny nicknames for Sheba too...
when she's being 'good' we call her "Shebaby"
and when she's being 'bad' she becomes "SheBeast"...just like my biking tights! lol!
