To just go ahead and get another cat anyway?

[IfYouLoveSomebodyLetThemSleep]

I am soooo broody and I need a fluffy little kitten to love until another baby comes along!
We already have 2 cats so I don't think having another will make much difference, will it? DP doesn't want another one but tbh he doesn't have much to do with our cats anyway so it's no extra work for him. I'd get a rescue one as well.
I just need the MN approval now. Please, please please can I get another cat?!

Yes! Get one. You have my total permission. Cats are the best. You definitely need more than just two.

Get two!

I did. I now have four.

Which is a shame because 4 is a relatively normal amount of cats but 5 is mad cat woman.

No shehasnt

Sorry that was DP being a tool. He's not happy that I've got permission!

Oh dear.

They are still a cost, can you afford the vet bills for another cat?

(more than two = mad cat lady)

Yes. I did this last summer. DH hates cats but he was playing a little too much golf at the time......
Took him nearly two days to realise I'd sneaked a new kitty in!

I'll be the voice of doom and gloom. It's not fair on the kitten if one if you doesn't want it. They are a pita, it will affect him and you wouldn't like it if the tables were turned.

You are so lucky to have to cats already.

Haha at the husband typing over his wife's shoulder 'noshehasnt'

Kittens are pains in the arse for 6 months but when they are cats they are WONDERFUL.

I had 2 cats, then went and got a third from a rescue just a few weeks before I realised I was pregnant. I got a cat though, not a kitten. She was five years old and slotted in beautifully. Go for it!

We have 12 cats (yes 12), always room for another.

Are you kidding HoneyBooBoo? I'd be thrilled if he brought home any animal, I'm a total sucker for them!
I am definitely going to get one. I think she will have to be a girl to fit in with our 2 boys and quite young to get used to the toddler. I think he would love it once it came along, he loved our last cat when he was a kitten and still has a soft spot for him.

Thanks for the permission

Pets, like children, should be a joint decision. If one person is against it then it doesn't happen.

12 cats! Where do you fit them all in?!

yes yes yes, do it. I got a little rescue boy kitten a couple of months ago post miscarriage to stave off broodiness, it totally worked. Not been fun integrating with my girl cat but not too bad now, aside from the daily hissing. Rescues are overflwing and can barely cope, anyone who can offer a home should, its your social duty

Yes definitely! I now have 6 cats ;)

And all of mine are rescue kitties :)

Yabu, Dh is banned from any more.

Get one the same colour as one you already have and hope they don't frequent the same room at the same time too often. Should a double sighting occur you can suggest in a very concerned tone that dh get his eyes tested.

My friend has eleven cats and three dogs and a couple of snakes

Do it. He will love it I'm sure!

When me and my dp got together he always stated how much he hates cats! Now we are about to have our first child he's decided that when she's abit older we will have to get a cat.

And he goes all gooey over cute kittens, I have no idea what changed him!

Buy a fluffy teddy bear instead?

Nooooo...no more cats!!! Get a Springer Spaniel instead...take her/him on walks with you and baby. The love they give you, and gentleness, wipes the floor with cats!!

And I say that as a cat lover, too!!!
