Logan, I am so glad you can relate to my turmoil!

I feel bad that I may be depriving Ally of company - but she is velcro cat - I cant imagine her sharing my lap with another cat. Also on the occasion I have had a rescued kitten in my guest loo (usually only overnight until the shelter opens - I have a bit of a rep as the "cat lady" around here, so people bring them to me at all hours) she has really gone mad - spitting and hissing under the door, and biting and scratching me for 3 or 4 days afterwards!

I guess on the other hand it is hard to have so many strays passing through my life, and although I am trying to make a difference, I often feel guilty about not giving them a home!

Thanks for puting things in perspective for me!
