Oddly enough, I don't feel it is too soon, and also, oddly enough, I
don't feel like I am looking for an exact replacement for Ming (because
there is no such thing). I am looking for life. I am sure when I start
looking at cats that need homes, I will be quite the sucker. (I have
had to stay away from any such place since I discovered that a few years
ago.)
