I don't think it's odd at all, lots of us have done it. Black cats RULE!

It's not odd at all, we're cat lovers, it's who we are.
We carry on the legacy of love when we open our hearts and our homes to another cat who need someone like us.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Frankenstein. I was glad to read your description of how it went, because I've always wondered if they have another way out of the place for crying, sobbing owners after a euth. I sure wouldn't want to go back through the lobby after something like that. Anyway, I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Frankenstein lived a good long life.

Congrats on the new kitty! When I lost my first cat ever in 2008, my first reaction was that I'd never have another cat because losing her was so painful. Four days later I was looking at the web sites again, and 2 weeks later we had our Murphy. You're just not prepared for how empty a house seems without a cat in it.

I am so sorry for your Frankenstein. Take the decision is the hardest think to do. And you are right, not everybody understands...
on the other side, Frankenstein had a beautiful age for a cat and surely lived a wonderfull life!

I pretty much knew that I would adopt right away.I had been looking at rescue shelters for the last month to enjoy the cats and get used to these places. I was a bit surprised at how fast Frankensteins final decline was. The general consensus is that you'll know when it's time. Definitely true for me. The hardest thing to deal with was coming home and cleaning up Frankenstein's food and water area, litter boxes and sleeping places. She was my only pet. For me, having no cat at all would have made the whole experience much harder to deal with.
