That’s so cool that you’re looking at bringing a shelter animal into a beautiful home over flowing with love. Just remember that kittens become Cats, and cats live a long time! Think of it as a 15 year commitment. Are you going to want a cat ten years from now?

On the plus side, cats weather changes in some ways better than dogs do. I always feel so sorry for dogs who were the center of a couples universe and got tons of love and attention, and then the couple has a human baby, and suddenly see the dog as just a demanding nuisance…..

One of the primary reasons I haven’t gotten myself a dog yet. sigh
