So I had to have our old family cat put down this week. Jasper was somewhere between 16-20 years old and we had owned him for about 7 years. He had really been slowing down over the past 6 months and we felt he didn't have too many more years left but seemed healthy. Well this week he started throwing up blood all over and just laying around not wanting to move. We knew this was the time so we had him put down at the local vet.
We have another cat that is about 1 year old but with Jasper gone we needed another cat to fill his place. My wife wanted to go as soon as possible so we packed up the kids and headed to PetSmart who houses cats for local humane societies. We found a cat that my wife and daughter likes and adopted him. He is a little white and tan cat that is 8 weeks old.
It has been fun already trying to get our current cat to accept the new one but my daughter loves her new cat. I am sure the two will get together soon just fine.

sorry to hear you lost your longtime friend, but congrats on adopting a homeless cat. there are so many of them out there that need good homes. i'm going to adopt my 2nd homeless dog this weekend. well, foster her - but i'm sure it will turn into "adopt". =}
they seem to know you've given them a home when nobody else wanted to.
have fun with the new addition!
