Depending on how many other pets you have, you may be BU. We have two almost grown cats. They drive me to distraction and I so wish I'd never agreed to get them.
They restrict our weekends away and, one of them is inconinent on my quilt. Frequently.
Retrospect is a marvellous thing. still, looking on the bright side, they should only live another 17 years or so.

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:09

oooooh.

i'm very excited but have had previous cats squashed (fatally and expensively) so am a bit wary and swore I'd never have another.

BUT

my very own cat (she was very special) was PTS about 10 years ago and I keep dreaming about her and miss her. The others are OK but they aren't mine.

'inconinent on my quilt'

You're so polite ripsis, one of mine pisses on our bed as well Grin

That's really sad you keep dreaming of your old cat DameH, you obviously need one to baby look after Smile

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:13

I think so agent.

Kittens are lovely!!

Old, incontinent, senile cats are not. Three down, one to go...

LadyBeagleEyes · 04/04/2012 18:17

You have to ask?
Of course you should get a kitten.
Everybody should have a kitten.

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:19

it does worry me that we will have a bit of a menagerie. but lets face it. the house stinks of teenagers, dogs and cats already. one more won't make much difference will it?

Only get a kitten if you can have it insured and chipped. It's heartbreaking if they are ill or go missing.

WorraLiberty · 04/04/2012 18:21

This is what I want for my Birthday on Monday

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:21

OP posts:
WorraLiberty · 04/04/2012 18:24

It's not just kittens, it's a bouquet of Kittens! Grin

Google it...you won't be disappointed!

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:26

OP posts:
AgentZigzag · 04/04/2012 18:27

Wow, imagine them all deciding they'll run up you, as they do

Little legs of pins.

WorraLiberty · 04/04/2012 18:28

And sandpaper tongues Grin

Mind you, they'll turn into a bouquet of shitting, pissing, geriatric cats eventually won't they? Sad

AgentZigzag · 04/04/2012 18:30

Awwww yes, their little sandpaper tongues

Happy birthday for monday you very old person Smile

DameHermioneEasterHarefield · 04/04/2012 18:31
