(no subject)

First of all, I want to send jennyclarinet a gigantic hug over the loss of her darling cat of almost 20 years. I am so sorry and I can't even write this post without thinking of you and Mushy.

This is a post for cat owners, especially those who own multiple cats.

I've always wanted more cats. To tell the truth, I want a dog too (we are both dog lovers) but until I (a) get a job that doesn't work 10-hour days and (b) a lifestyle that doesn't require me to be gone for 14-hour stretches at a time while (c) at least a 25-minute drive from my house which (d) doesn't have a lawn or yard worth speaking of and also (e) I travel a lot – it's nowhere near fair to any dog in the known universe for me to even think about adopting. The odds: they are against me. However, cats don't need as much attention, and I still have room in my life and love in my heart for as many animals as I can cram in there.
