In any case... as you already know, my sons have tested positive to cats in allergy skin tests and K has generally been adamantly against us having cats again.
and I -- cold hearted new home owner -- really want to have cats, but I'm SUPER stressed out about our new sofas and storage ottoman. I know, such a bad reason, right? It's the only thing that's holding me back right now. Actually, it's not... if K agrees, we're getting them soon. Right now they're still nursing a bit and they live in a basement window shaft from which they can't get out (so they don't really know what to do when we bring them up to the porch).
I also know that apart from the allergies and the couches, the cats will be a significant expense (they'll have to be fixed and vaccinated and tested, etc) and a nuisance when we travel (which is a lot) since we need to find pet sitters.
They have stolen our hearts, though... and we know they need a home. And besides, since Blues disappeared last year I have this gaping hole in my heart that is begging to be filled. Sigh.
Very hard decision to make. I'll keep you posted, OK?
Que coisinhas mais lindas! Mas, os outros morreram por q? Ai que dó! Eles são tão lindos! Sabe que a pretinha que eu adotei ano passado ainda não aprontou com os móveis? Quando eu a trouxe pra casa, passei na loja de animais e comprei um pau pra ela arranhar e um mat de papel. Depois vi na net que se vc esfregar um pano limpo e sem cheiro nas bochechas do gatinho e depois esfregar no pau de arranhar, ele reconhece como dele. Eu esfreguei bastante e se foi isso que funcionou eu nunca saberei. Só sei que ela não se mete com os móveis! Vez ou outra ela arranha o pau debaixo da cama, mas muito pouquinho. Felicidades pra todos! Beijos!
