Mr. K absolutely forbids it. Luckily, we have plenty of kitty cousins who have all been rescued (nine to be exact) so others in the family are making up for the fact we can't rescue any C-A-T-S. Heather and Mr. K support my adopt a third (and fourth!) rescue Scottie proposal but we have yet to get Scottie Dad to sign off on that one. Fingers crossed!

A kitty doesn't usually cost a lot, but they can and do get sick. They can get injured. They get old and age-related illnesses may occur. <br /><br />I'd also recommend thinking about how a kitty might fit into your household. For instance, you need to consider the needs of the other furry companions in your home if you have them. Likewise, you won't want to adopt a kitty who isn't good with children if you have them. Shelters are great about knowing what kitties will fit into your type of household if you ask them. :)Fur Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064329146430899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-83460200044638014152014-02-11T01:38:19.886-06:002014-02-11T01:38:19.886-06:00Definitely something else to consider CK.

Mom has adopted many of them. She just goes to the adoption place and finds cat(s) or kitten(s) that she likes and brings them home. She's had at least one cat since she was seven, so she knows all about what they need. Once they are home we find out what they are really like. She says it is easier than choosing a dog/puppy.My GBGV Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281486885814998377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-38801244781671323932014-02-10T15:13:29.746-06:002014-02-10T15:13:29.746-06:00I grew up knowing dogs only, and I had to take a c...I grew up knowing dogs only, and I had to take a crash course in cat.

KKMM was good at avoiding Shiner, but I don't want to adopt one because Shiner just doesn't get along with them. Maybe if it was a little baby kitten it would work out.
