So while I see you enjoying the freedom of non-pet ownership, I doubt you'll be kitty-free forever. <br /><br />A friend of mine actually went and got a new kitten on the same day she had to put one of hers down suddenly. (Which also happened to be her birthday) I don't think I could do that, but for her, it helped. When you're ready, you'll be ready. My mom says she's not getting any more pets as she lost 3 in less than a year. But I know the minute there's a kitty needing a home, she'll cave. She's like me, a soft touch. (I mean, as soon as I knew Sid needed a home, I knew I was gonna fall in love with him and it would have taken a lot for me to change my mind. Best decision ever.)<br /><br />Much as I love kittens, I do think getting Sid was better than getting Otis. With Sid, I never had the bad kitten phase. Sure, they're cute, but they're pests and bad. Well... Otis still is, but I didn't have to make Sid be a good cat. He always was (though lately, he loves 'catching' his toys and walking around meowing his fool head off, usually when I'm sleeping. If the bedroom door is closed, I wake up to a pile outside the door-- his bat, the blue mousey, the pink horse...) He's definitely changed since he first came to live with me (he's turned into a super big suck and loves cuddling with me. Still hates being picked up though) Kittens have the tiny factor though. I love when other people get kittens because I can live vicariously through them and get kitten snuggles without all the bad kitten stuff.<br /><br />And speaking of living vicariously, Sid and Otis love visitors and snuggles, so if you are in desperate need of kitty cuddles, I offer them up for you. But you can't keep them. Unless you bring a big purse, because then Otis would stow away in it. He does that sometimes. Can even unzip stuff if given enough time.Shanenhttp://www.hateandwhiskey.comnoreply@blogger.com
