Ally Cat's Mommy
04-30-2003, 11:32 AM
I often wonder whether I should get another cat - (and all the cute kitten pics which are being posted DO NOT HELP - NO FAIR!!!)
However I worry about the consequences:
1. Divorce - or possible death - my hubby may kill me!
2. If we leave Bahrain it will be double the expense to transport two cats - my hubby has conceded that Ally cant be left behind, but he wouldnt be happy with taking two back to SA
3. When we go back Ally will stay with my mum, as we will be spending a couple of months renovating our house- my mum can cope with one cat, but Im not sure about two!
4. I wonder how Ally will react to not being NUMBER 1 all the time - I dont want to upset her
on the other hand.......
Maybe it would be good for Ally to have a bro or sis to play with, but.......
- what if they dont get along
- what if Ally gets bullied - or turns into a bully - I cant stand it when animals are distressed
- would she cope better with an older cat, or a kitten, or somewhere in the middle - and also male or female
This is making my head hurt!!!!
On the other hand if I just have Ally I can give her so much love and attention, and I also have a bit of money and time left over to feed / catch / spay / release our local population of strays......
Any input???????????:eek: :eek:
