I thought it would be a long time before I could bear to have a cat again, but there was a situation where I was asked to take one in and reluctantly I said I'd give it a trial run. She never went back to her original owner. She's such a sweetheart, so affectionate. I hate to even think of anything happening to her. I know I would want another cat, but also know that with us wanting to semi-retire in a few years it might not happen as we're going to want to do more traveling and it's harder to do that with pets. But I just can't imagine a house without a cat.
Love the names.
. Fortunately the kids aren't allergic to him at all ( he is long haired and sheds little). Now my kids carry him around like he's a real baby, and he loves to play (at 1 1/2 years old, he's still a kitten), but unfortunately at 15 pounds he can't wrap himself around my neck as easily (although he tries!!)
I have three kitties and adore them. We have a kitten now and I especially look forward to waking up or coming home from work and seeing her, since kittens are so darned adorable (and crazy!). She drives the other two insane since she wants to play constantly.
, she's Siamese which doesn't help. But, I love them all. I have a 7 month old kitten and she's my little princess! 
I spend more money on their food than I do my own!
