I know I don't post in Cat General very much....I'm sorry but I just don't have enough time to respond to everyone and it's so hard to keep up. I do read and appreciate all of your stories and "awwwww" at the pictures.
Anyway, my thoughts about living in a one-cat household.
- I only have to scoop and flush once a day now. Two pee pods and maybe one tootsie roll and that's it.
- I save money on litter.
- I save money on food.
- I don't have as many food and water dishes to wash in the mornngs.
- I only have one litter box to clean and not as often as before.
- I only have one kitty who demands my attention and says when and where.
- There is only one kitty on the bed at night.
...and yet, I would trade it all to live in a two-cat household again. I miss my Speckles so much. At night she used to crawl underneath the blankets and cuddle up to me and keep me warm. Now, I only have Max who demands to take up half of my pillow.
I admit, these past few days I have thought about getting another kitty, but I really think it's unfair to Max. He's will be 13 in April......was and will always be the alpha and really doesn't like other kitties. Speckles was stalked on a daily basis until about a week before she passed. I think I'll wait until Max makes the trip, then go to a rescue and adopt two together...maybe siblings or best friends that can't be separated.
Anyway, just needed to get this down in writing. No need to respond. Thanks for listening.
