Do things at your pace, Squish. Don't let anyone tell you it is "too early" if you feel comfortable. It's not a replacement. When our cat of 6 years got cancer (we adopted him when he was like 12) and had to be PTS, we went out looking to give another kitty a home the next day.

It helped us go on in Sammy's spirit. He would have wanted us to have another kitty. The cat turned out to be mentally ill, but seriously, it helped us get over it at the time. We felt better if we knew we were helping another kitty like Sammy.
