I would love to have a kitten, too, besides another senior kitty but given my age, it just isn't a good idea. I'm not ancient by any stretch but my cats have lived a long time (Pidge is now 21 and Boo is 18). I'd be into my 80's if a new kitten lived as long and seeing that I live alone, taking in any more cats, kittens at least, isn't practical. Plus I have relative calm in my home; everyone gets along w/everyone else. If pee wars started, I'd not be happy. However, I know that I will one day take in a senior cat. Just not now. And I'm a failure at fostering. I have 6 "fosters" right now.
