LOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! I posted that thread on my first day on here and already caused a commotion!! Wow!!

I appreciate everyone's advice!! I am starting to regret posting it though because I didn't mean to stir up trouble!! I want everyone to get along!!! We all are here because of our love for our pets and animals so lets just be friends!!!!
I try to get along! We are all very in love with our cats and don't want to see a potential problem. Thats all... hopefully I'm not speaking for too many people here! I know that when I read your post I was concerned because - no matter WHAT you say - having an active puppy, baby AND kitten in a new home is going to be way way overwhelming. Life has taught me (and many others) these experiences.

Perhaps its your exhuberance and optimism of it all that makes it seem exciting and wonderful and that you'll be able to handle it. But PLEASE listen to a voice of reason here: new house, baby, puppy, kitten.... if you look up stress tests online - these are all top stressors! When I married and "inherited" 3 wonderful step-kids and moved an hour away, I purposely did not leave my job for a year because I knew that new marriage, new house AND new job would have killed me! All of these things were positive! All of these things were things I'd dreamt of having and couldn't wait! Even positive changes cause stress.

I think you are a wonderful person who has, in your few posts, displayed sensitivity, friendship, optimism, joy... everything that a wonderful human being should be! Being, human, I also know that we have limits and adding a kitten to the lists of all these new experiences for you might topple the foundation you have. You don't seem to be the type of person who would get a kitten and then give it away... I know that you'd love this cat with all of your heart and no sooner part with it than your child. I can tell this from what you've written inresponse to this and other posts. I just don't want to see your happiness and optimism hurt by taking on too much at one time.
