Since the death of my cat a year ago, I had fostered other kittens, and all of them were rehomed a few weeks later.
I always asked myself if I could regret that decision, but I was always happy for the kittens when they found a new home. Yes, I was a bit sad at first, I was surely missing them for a couple of days, but I didn't regret.
Of course, time is passing by, and I should feel more and more ready for a new cat, but I think I have to feel it, I have to feel inside my heart that THAT cat is the one I was waiting for.
Right now I don't think I'm feeling like that, though I love her and she loves me.
It's difficult to explain, even to myself.
You are awesome for being true to yourself. You still fostered and gave a loving start to some kitties, yet you know it's not "time" yet. After Jojo crossed over I could only keep loving Mimi and Nola. It's a different love for each one. As much, yet different. Then one day my heart went searching and I looked on PetFinder, Humane Society and the Animal Care Center. So many beautiful companions! And then one day I saw a teeny face spilled with black ink over her nose and sweet butterscotch eyes... It's not as if I had a particular type or breed in mind. The one thing I know is the soul knows what the heart wants. When we least expect it. Just let you be you. Know that every time you love, your heart lights up brighter and brighter. You don't have to "be ready" for love, it will find you.
