SO DO I. Callette was the one I originally wanted to keep the most, but Shona is the cuddliest and also the one who takes after her mother the most. She's the only one of the four who lies on her back to have her tummy tickled.
my friend Miranda is having her, though, which will suit her.
This whole thing is his fault, you know. I'd never have thought of adopting a cat if he weren't so obsessed with them.
Now I'm thinking of fostering kittens for Cats Protection after these have gone.
Border Collies can be like that. I've known a few people who had good jobs and lived in towns and stuff and got a Border Collie, and within five years they've jacked it all in and taken up sheep farming. I suppose I should be grateful it's only cats, just think if he'd developed a llama obsession...
OH! She is soooo cute...looks like she's wondering which site to visit next...:D
I was just wondering...you did say you could only have the three pets...isn't someone going to object if you foster kittens, then? Or is that different somehow from actually owning them?
Oh, I KNOW, in a way, it's different, but what would happen if some of those you foster get sick and need a vet? That's what I mean. aren't kittens fostered beCAUSE they have some problems?
They're fostered because they need somewhere to go. Or, with young kittens, because they need hand rearing and they aren't equipped to do that in a shelter - or just because it makes space in the shelter for more animals.
but it depends on who you d the fostering with, see. Many rescues and shelters will cover any vet bills for foster animals - that would make the difference. I, personally, can only cover veterinary treatment for three but if they were fostered through a rescue organisation I wouldn't have to.
I can manage the food and time and cat litter and attention, it's just that it would be hard for me to manage if something went wrong. I took that risk with these kittens because it's short term and a one-off... my mother would have happily lent me the money if there'd been an emergency, but I knew there was a good chance I'd never have to ask her.

You were right on the money when you said Spike would be a mess post-kitties. He's having sooo much fun.
