Everybody feel free to boo me ~ but I vote no. You have so much stress in your life right now with work, finances, home repairs, health issues, kids, grandchildren, etc. A new kitty in the house could push you over the edge. Let someone else step up the to plate. It will be good for them.

If your health or home fails, lots of kitties would be in trouble. Take care of what you've got first. Then, you can always make room for another.

Do you ever watch/read Suze Orman? Her motto is "People first, then money, then things." Now (of course) I put cats into the people category -- probably not what she's thinking -- but now is the time to get yourself and your family back on stable footing.
