Opinions-kittens or young cats?

wow, I can't imagine unexpectedly inheriting such a huge dog. Glad it worked out ok.

Those two dogs got lucky that not only did the new owners accept them, but they also are good owners.

I guess I actually can understand the layoff loosing a job and having to move thing a bit more than most other reasons.

We had to put my 20 year old kitty sleep in January, knew we'd want more but unsure how long it would take. I had gotten my other kitties (had one die at 17 a few years ago) a year apart and they never did like each other. Nothing violent but they pretty much ignored each other, so I really wanted to raise two together in the hope that they'd at least like each other!

I started looking in March though not seriously. Mentioned to a friend that I was sorta looking and wanted 2 sisters. Lo and behold, there were 2 littermates living at her vets office that they badly wanted to adopt out. The staff had been handling them every day, so they were very socialized. They were about 5 months, this was about 2 1/2 months ago. Glad I did it, they can be nuts (early morning stampede/wrestling sessions) but they're also sweet and make me smile. That's them in my avatar.

Sounds terrible but I had forgotten what it was like to have a healthy cat! Loved my old baby, but we had been giving her thyroid meds for years and her last few months were awful. I wouldn't have minded slightly older cats (2 or 3 years) but for me, I couldn't face having an older cat again so soon. It's tough.
