    Thanks for understanding my point. We didn't get another cat (although we missed our cat who died at age 14) because we know we don't want the responsibility and that wouldn't be fair. I come from a family of animal haters and just having a pet was a really big deal for me... it was great for my kids and I really came to love her. But, the kids are gone and I knew my limits.
    I guess some people don't. But both of my kids have cats (one has 2) which at this point, are their children.

    Yay for Boo! It's such a hard decision, but you've helped all of them by making it one less for the next person to choose from.

    Nobody thinks you should get another cat..... you did the right thing. You knew you didn't want to commit to a pet and you didn't, rather than getting one and throwing it away when you tired of it....

    I know some of the pets there do end up in the shelter for legitimate reasons, but so many of them are there because their owners have lost interest. It's sad.
