Why I can't have #6, Excuses...

[NoahsMommy]

I've made up a few to repeat in my head the next time we're at the shelter:

1. Five is enough in our two-bedroom apartment.

2. Can't have anymore girls....Olivia and Noel wont have it

3. Nowhere to hide another litterbox

4. There is only room for five thumbnails in my signature at PT

5. There are only five colors of Soft Paws

Sounds believable???

LOL at # 4 and #5, those won't stop you would they? #3 would be true for me. But for me, no matter how many excuses i have for not getting another one, its hard for me to make them believable

*ahem*

Actually, I'm going to discount #4 & #5.

#4 - You can decrease the pic sizes to squeeze in one more. Or you can put the sixth kitty in your avatar!!

#5 - You can start doing multicoloured soft paws for the sixth cat!

Sorry, you have to do better! No problem with a 6th cat, and I'm sure many will back me up, Wayne, Jen, etc.

And you'll probably buy a house in the future, so throw out #1 while your at it!



It's so easy for me to talk....coming from a one cat household!

Uh, huh....I want YOUR list!!

[batgirl1980]

funny funny! Though I have to agree with the others, the soft paws isn't really an excuse.. You can always rotate colors.. the new addition could get like "blue, purple, blue, purple" etc... LOADS of possibilities there

The first 3 are purty good tho! Don't ya need one more:

6. Having to try and convince the significant other all over again!! (could also reword as: significant other won't allow it)

just trying to help for when you go back and see some adorable faces looking back at ya!

2. Can't have anymore girls....Olivia and Noel wont have itwell there is always boys

3. Nowhere to hide another litterboxyou'd be surprised!

4. There is only room for five thumbnails in my signature at PTI managed

5. There are only five colors of Soft PawsI'd believe this IF you were not going to already use the same color on 2 cats. AND the mix and match theory.

1. If 5 isn't too many for a 2 bedroom apartment, then 6 isn't either.

2. Noel and Olivia want another girl because they have to be equal with the boys.

3. With so many litter boxes, what;s one more?

4. What's an avartar for?

5. One paw is blue, another is pink, another is purple, and the fourth is red. Solves the problem.

Answered all your excuses. Now go get #6.

[NoahsMommy]

Darn it!! Jen....I was waiting for your reply on the signature and having blue on two cats...

oooh, yea. Thanks batgirl!!

#6 Hubby would not be a happy camper.

Been there, done that. We are still married after almost 20 years, aren't we?????

[batgirl1980]

ahh well.. I tried to help add an excuse for ya... but they are right.. he did say.... no more unless its a tortie...

at least that narrows the field down a little!

[marysmerrycats]

I will use some of your excuses to keep telling myself... and I can add 2 more...

7. can't afford any more vet bills for any more sick cats.
8. these cats don't want anymore brotheres or sisters. they have just now adjusted well. things are going fairly smooth finally.


......"no more cats, no more cats. no more cats...."
of course that does not mean that you should not get cat #6!! a tortie would be nice

This is interesting. When I was 20 we said: However full a car may be there is still room for a guitar.

Which means logically that after the guitar is in there is still room for another.

With this argument you'll end up with very many cats

[BastetsMum]

Well I am from a one cat household and I find it totally objectionable!

But ... to compensate I counted my cat statues and they are coming close to 60 now (yes I will take pics laughs)...

So another excuse (to use on hubby that is) that you don't have enough room for a kittyless compensation (ie cat statues)...

Vet bills - in the long run - cost less than running a car and which do you get more enjoyment out of? car or kitty?

I would say kitty wins hands down!

I edited this post. Noahs mommy, sorry I was sarcastic on the thread you started. Bastets mom, I apoligize.
