Personally I jumped straight back in and it did help with the pain. You can never replace them but a kitten or two does bring joy to the house again.
Looks like you are about to adopted.With Winston gone, one of the neighbour's (if you can call the other side of the field/side of town a neighbour) cats, Sparkle, is testing how far he can get.

How many of you have cats that play fetch?
Never had a cat do this before, but celestra does it and i did not even teach her, i just threw her toy mouse and she always brings it back to me, even taps my foot sometimes to let me know she dropped it for me! I have a video, but not sure where to post it to embed it on the forum

My last 2 Burmese used to play fetch with little sponge balls. They'd come back with the ball in their mouth trying to meow which sounded quite funny.
You could put it on YouTube and embed the link here.
Mine randomly brings me sticks, but not the ones I've thrown.

My old cat Alfie used to play fetch. I'd scrunch up a bit of paper and chuck it for him. He liked to jump up high and intercept it, he was pretty good at it until a car turned him into a tripod. We got him as a kitten and I just started playing fetch with him as a bit of a "lol ur dog" joke, so I wonder if you can get your cat to be a dog just by starting young.

Edit - spot the Sparkle.....
News of a "vacancy" travels really fast. A few times I have had a cat move in within months of another passing.
My Emily plays fetch. She loves playing with those plastic springs they make for cats. When I throw one, she will chase after it and bring it back for me to throw again.
I taught one of my old cats, (half maine-****- still around and 18 years old!) to fetch. She used to love me flicking a little wedge of folded paper with an elastic band- she'd jump and nearly flip over backwards to catch them, but always wanted to continue playing when she had it, so I used to flick it and hide round the corner so she couldn't see me, and she started picking it up and coming to find me.
I did worry that she'd start randomly picking them up and hassling me at 3am to play, but she never did- it was always me that initiated the game.

Emily is usually the one that starts the game in my house. She will just appear in front of me with a spring in her mouth.
Mine doesn't fetch, but he will play chase. He'll jump out on me in one room and then charge off to another room expecting me to follow. When I find him, I'll run back to another room and he'll chase again. Rinse and repeat.

I’m really sad to say that my recent kitty who was only 13 weeks old is no longer with us.
There was over £8000 worth of vet bills to try and save her.
She had a respiratory problem and was struggling to breathe.
I can’t even put into words how sad I am.
The above was when she was happier, the below is the last picture I have of her when she came home from the initial blood tests, x rays, scans etc on Saturday. They initially thought it was an infection on the lungs and prescribed antibiotics which we were giving her with a syringe. She began losing her appetite and she didn’t seem to be getting any better.
She left us yesterday afternoon after being rushed to a specialist hospital in Solihull after her condition deteriorated….Having to authorise losing her was the worst feeling.

Awww. I'm so sorry. She looked such a sweetie, and to have such a short life is so terrible.
You did your very best and that's all anyone can do. Sometimes Mother Nature is a ****.
And yes, it's a terrible decision but it's one that all pet owners must face at some stage. You did what's right. You carried the burden so she didn't have to.
RIP little one.

Oh No
I am so sorry! Such a short life, she was so lucky to have you for the short time she was here.I still struggle thinking about letting my cat go, its such a hard choice and it does not feel right that you have to make it.

i am very deeply saddened to hear this i know the feeling of loosing cats but usually in old age to loose one this young is horrific, the youngest we lost a cat at was my sisters rag doll at 2 year old with stomache cancer
she had a very good owner to spend what you did on her and she was blessed with having you and she was clearly much loved, rip wee darling
just showed my dad this and he is deeply saddened as well

Cold and damp micro fibre cloth makes sure Boris stays cool in this heat:
His sister Tyskie loves the heat and would probably light the log burner if she could . . . . . .
