Its funny u should bring this up mary, as i have been thinking a lot about it lately, i am a person who thinks about "what if" probably too much WORRY WORT me.
I was going to ask pet talk members especially those on their own with more than one or two pets, if they had thought of it.
Lets face it , it could happen to any of us at any time.
As long as only i went, my husband and children would take care of mine, so as long as we are not all wiped out (god forbid) i think they will be ok, as i get older though i shall indeed think about whether i should be getting more cats, but i hate to think of living without them in my old age, i have already missed out 18 years or so because of my cat allergy, which i now have overcome almost , thanks to my persistent daughter asking me to adopt ASH.
My parents have a lovely burmese TESSA, she is getting on too, but she might outlive my parents, if not i wonder if they will get another, i know i will beable to take their cat now should anything happen to them, and that gives me peace of mind.
