Oh dear, I'm letting you all down

[daliesque]

I must confess....I'm not a childless cat lady. I mean, I'm definitely childless but I have a dog instead.

In fact currently I don't even have a dog as mine died recently and I'm waiting until the new puppy is 8 weeks old in about 3 weeks time before we pick him up. no we didn't wait long and no we don't regret it.

While I'd love to have a cat, I think having a puppy and a kitten at the same time might be carnage. No, there's no might about it...it will be carnage.

So hope the childless cat ladies out there will forgive me and I'd say, have another few cats for me 🐈

Only if you let us see a photo of the puppy...

Childfree dog and chicken lady here! 😁

Childress dog lady here. I've a feeling that's even worse

Don’t worry - every cat you don’t take means they are free for meeeeeeeeee

I'm a childfree cat lady!

Who would want a dog when they could have a cat? I hope it's not too late to cancel your order.

I think you are safe, I don’t think being child free and a cat or dog lady are synonymous. 😂

you are most certainly welcome and wanted however way you are.

Unfortunately some do:

Big 'yay' for Jennifer Aniston!



Oops failed to attach a photo. Not mine as all photos we have at the moment are outing. But one like this.

I think we may balance each other out @daliesque I have 5 cats (no children!) and am about to take in 2 more. A dog may be on the horizon now I’m a widow- but it’ll be next year!

I have no children, don't like cats and my dog died a few years ago. I'm contributing NOTHING! 😆

@Alphabet1spaghetti2 sounds amazing!

@daliesque thank you. I once had five dogs and miss them daily! So one day….. !

Oof, this uis a tough one.

As a very proud member of the childless cat ladies....erm excuse me.....crazy childless cat ladies brigade, its a struggle

Go on, seeing as the puppy is very cute, I'll forgive you 😁

We missed our old man so much that we found ourselves trawling pets for homes the day after he died 🙈

Happily childless cat lady here - why would you want a puppy?! All puppies have is silly, youthful exuberance and outsized flobbolly paws and soft, scritchable ears and big soulful eyes and... awww, look at that! 😍

Oh look at that little guy!

Childfree, single and slave to a fat ginger boy with ridiculous separation anxiety.

Enjoy your lovely puppy 🐶

I have no kids and until last September always had a cat(s).

I did think when I retired (nearly five years ago), I would eventually get a dog instead of having a cat but due to the horrendous vets charges and lack of vets locally, I've decided against getting either again, so currently I am still catless.

I cheer myself up by watching endless cat videos online as it's cheaper than getting a real one. There, I'm that sad!! 😆

@daliesque beautiful, my favourite dogs, good natured and soppy. Enjoy your not cat

@Daleksatemyshed he'll be our second - love golden retrievers so much. 🥰

I thought this post was going to be a pregnancy announcement and you were flouncing off this board 🤣

Childless Horse Lady here.

If Gilead Commander Vance has a time machine to pop back 15 years to tell doctors not to remove my ovaries and then nip into the future to get the cure for the incurable medical issue that made that necessary, he's welcome to try.

Could you foster instead? There's a charity round me that does long-term fostering for some of their cats and they pay all the vets bills. They will also pay the bills if you adopt a cat with medical issues.
