I hope this isn't too personal, but back in September my cat passed away due to kidney failure. I'm still pretty broken up about it, but I'm nowhere near as much of a mess as I was when it first happened.
However, my partner isn't ready to welcome a new cat into our lives mainly because it would now be "our" cat instead of "my" cat. My former kitty was with me before I met my current partner.
We still have some relationship issues to work out which is why he's holding off, but man do I have this emptiness in my heart that aches to love another kitty already. The silence in our apartment is driving me stir crazy.
I do understand the decision to hold off until we're stronger as a couple, but it hurts everyday not having a kitty around.
