My fat ass cat was killed :(

Hey, pal, I am very old and I have lost many special pets. It really sucks!  I can only hope that you had a pic to keep.

As you said, you go crazy and grieve a bit, but the best thing to do after a period of adjustment is to get another pet. If it is another cat you want, then find a bunch of kittens and allow the kitten to choose you. You will have a loyal friend for the extent of its life.

If it is a dog you want then I would caution you to respect the area you have available. DO not get a big dog and force it to live in an apartment with no outdoor life.
Small dogs do OK in Apartment life as long as they get to run and walk every day.

I feel empathy for your loss.

I adopted a kitten today, a little guy who was updated on his vaccines, and other necessities. Very energetic... too adorable as well.

His name is Yoshi.

Being mischievous only makes cats more adorable. Privileged critters, cats. They can commit atrocities and get away with that without a problem.

Aww...he's precious. Keep this little fella inside. He's safer that way and it's healthier for him. I've been working in animal rescue for 25 years and cats are perfectly happy and healthy inside. Some cats are truly outdoor cats and some like a mix. But with a little guy that young, he can be indoors for his life and you will have him a good long time.

Lorre isn't happy being only inside. He had been living on the streets for a while but he was still young when he showed up at my door. Neighbour of mine got a small kitten as company for her indoor cat. He pines away and terrorises everything and everyone if he can't go outside everyday. So now she has an indoor cat and a cat that is both in and outside. Before that, another neighbour got a tiny tiny rescue kitten, three days old, she hand raised him, but his mother had been a true hunting farm cat. He needed being able to go outside too. Most obnoxious and energetic cat ever. He'd nick clothespins from my washing line. Dropping my laundry​in the process. 

Yet there also are rescues who've lived outside for years who, after neutering, refuse to set a step outside ever again.

Adorable. Really happy for you.

That was apart of the agreement on his adoption papers...

It came in the forum of a question which was: "Will this be an indoor cat?"
