Nah, you're not at all crazy, just really lucky!! I've always wondered what it would be like to have multiple cats, but I've never had much of a "collector" personality. (Not to imply in ANY WAY that multiple cat owners are "collectors"; I know that's a recognized mental illness and a tragedy when the cats are not treated properly.) I'm pretty much content with one of everything. I seem to be fulfilling my multiple pet fantasies with YLL's rats, anyway
. I admire all of you who can work in or visit shelters regularly - I always leave there with tears in my eyes and feeling very down. The shelter near us will sometimes post the reason for the surrender on the pet's enclosure, and it makes me sick how people treat these animals like "home decor" or misguided gifts. Maybe when I retire from my life-sucking retail job I can rescue a whole "herd" of kitties to keep me company in my old age. (Not too sure how the hubby would feel about this, though.......
)
