I agree, getting another pet helps the grieving process. After Fluff was gone I got another cat, it was about 6 months after she passed.

Hera, was a free kitten, some guy standing outside the store with a box, and I knew not to look in but when I saw here gray face it was all over.

The more she grew the more here manerism mimiced Fluffs. Sleeping on my head at night, riding around on my shoulders, even the look in her eyes seemed the same. I felt that Fluff was reborn.
