Oh, bless-she sounds like my dream cat: indoors-Yes i know it’s becos of FIV+😟I’m sorry, still-one who wants/loves cuddles, would sit on my lap, maybe even curl up on my bed w/me. Your cat’s🥰&beautiful- tho looks wouldn’t matter to me, tbh. But we’ll never have a🐈again: discussed w/B: ruled out.😢

It's a shame you don't have a cat. I know other people that don't want to get another pet because it hurts so much when they die. The thing is they give so much joy and that's what makes saying goodbye so hard.

He was unusually needy 24/7: had to have someone w/him to watch whenever he used litter-troubles I won’t detail. Also, he could be sweet then suddenly turn violent. So many yrs I’ve yearned for a sweet little cat of my own to❤️But now I’m too sick/old to be able😢B’s decision: practical/Final but💔4me😔

Cats do tend to change moods quickly. They are happy for attention, then they turn on you. It seems to be their nature.

A couple yrs after he died I started looking for indoor cats to adopt fr/RSPCA. Could never find one anywhere near us…Yrs passed-I’d look now & then, desperately wanted a cat that was more Mine (🐈been hers/Alpha1-I was bottom of the pack). We got used to freedoms we’d not had…& my health tanked😔😢

I have the opposite problem about finding cats. Currently my son's girlfriend is looking for a home for a beautiful calico kitten. Combining my two current cats has been hard enough. It's hard to say no though.

&my health’s deteriorated so much I can’t go anywhere now-that also played a part in her decision: how could she go away even on a short stay & leave me to do all the looking after? A Jekyll/Hyde🐈she adopted as a kitten in Dubai: whoever had him 1st must’ve maltreated😢.That+6mos🇬🇧quarantine hurt him…

Pets are a lot of work. Cats are easier than dogs as they use a litter box rather than having to go outside.

Not all cats are easier than dogs, tho I get what you’re saying. Our boy was an exception & needed constant looking after. 😢

That’s part of it. After our🐈had to be put to sleep at 18😢-horrific necessary choice-we got rid of/donated whatever was still useable/food we had left. Then B-in whose bed/rm he’d always slept/where his litter tray was-found she had room to move. We were free to go away w/out stress on him…

My husband doesn't like to travel so he's with the cats when I travel. I take my dogs with me which makes accommodations harder, but they love to go on trips.
