I love your cats too. I too used to own cats for so many years I can't count. Moggies and 1 siamese,1 cross siamese and the last two were a red burmese and his sister who was a blue tortie...they lived a very long and happy life here. Now there are so many neighbourhood cats around I feel that it would be unkind of me to bring in a kitten, wspecially with my big dog. ( though all she wants to do is play, and sits and cries when she sees one that won't come into our yard).......do you blame them?
