After a pet has been PTS, how long before getting another?
Discussion
About 6 days ago we had our 12 year old cat pts. We are definitely noticing her absence after having her around for so long. Amazing how animals really do become part of the family.
So, less than a week later I'm already considering getting a kitten.
How long have you waited 'between pets'?
I'm contemplating getting a BSH, Birman, Bengal, Norwegian forest cat or maybe just a nice looking moggy. Any advice on these breeds? Health, behavioural issues etc..
A couple of years ago my pedigree Persian was the victim of PKD, so was thinking any cats I might have in the future would be moggies. But after losing this last cat after only 12 years, I think I'd risk getting another pedigree (After being tested for PKD).
Any other breeds worth considering?

Thanks everyone for your input.
I'm going to check out our local spca/shelter this week, and maybe see what the local breeders have. If I find a kitten I like, I'll be bringing it home.
In my whole life, I don't recall not ever having a dog or cat running/laying around. So, as much as I've missed my cat this last week, I see no reason not to get another one...if I find the right one.

We haven't adopted another cat yet, but...
This little critter seems to have adopted us.
He's actually a neighbours cat, but spends a lot of time with us. He turned up the day after we had our cat put to sleep.
Sorry for the blurry shots...was trying out a new lens.
