As much as I love multi-cat households (I have 4 myself) I can completely understand this. Our eldest cat, Rascal went to the RB nearly 2 years ago. It was not until her journey to the RB did we consider getting more cats in addition to the other one we already have (Onyx.) I do believe some cats are meant to be "only" cats and that sounds how you're feeling about Max. We all know how much you must love Max, and maybe waiting is the right thing to do. And getting two (or more !!) hint .. more !!! is a great idea. In the meantime you have all these kitties on PT to look at !! I sympathize with the loss of your Speckles.
