We are currently a pet-less family - two DCs (3 and 6). We feel like we have a pet sized hole in our lives. We are busy - I work 2 days a week but I am in and out a lot quite a bit on the other days and we are in and out at weekends.
A kitten wouldn't suit us for the above reasons but we are seriously considering a rescue cat. We are registered with a rehoming place and they have several that suit us in terms of ability to live with children. Our neighbours have a cat and we love it when she comes over for a cuddle.
I just don't want to make a mistake. DH and I had a cat years ago who was very unaffectionate and brought home a lot of birds/mice/anything that moved. We still enjoyed his company though. I'm just a bit nervous about disturbing our happy equilibrium in the house.
Do you think it's right for us?
