I joined this lovely forum in 2011 when the love of my life, Marmite became ill & died. I cried for months & was desperately grief-stricken. It's only been a couple of years since I started listening to music again. Yes, I had stopped listening to music, I was punishing myself & felt that I shouldn't be happy again. I'm still not fully recovered. My wife has been wonderful. Supporting me though Marmite's illness & helping to pay the animal hospital fees. She has been wanting another furry in the house for quite some time. We have talked about various breeds, but I have delayed for years because I didn't want to feel I was replacing Marmite & many other thoughts & worries.
I had a health scare a few weeks ago, it turned out to be (hopefully) not serious, but there was a quick trip to the hospital for tests. It made me think that I didn't want to miss having another furry friend. I looked on a kittens for sale website & saw a pretty little kitten from a breeder who seems very good. They are a few hours away & they only sell kittens to people who can lok after cats well & who they feel area good match to the kitten's personality. I had a long chat on the phone with them a couple days ago & we are having a Facetime chat this afternoon. To see the kittens & to ask questions & answer the breeder's questions.
I've been worried about the breed. When I was looking for a kitten the first time & found Marmite, I settled on a British Shorthair as I love how they look & their personality. They also tend to be very happy as house cats. Marmite was a British Blue Shorthair. The kitten I am considering is also a British Blue Shorthair. She would be a different fur person of course with a difference appearance & personaility, but still the same basic breed & colour. She would be loved to bits.
Is it right to get the same breed & colour again?
