She sounds like such a sweetheart, and very laid back, and the laid back is a good thing. I, too, believe in fate, and I know you're trying to do the best for Minion, and I'm at minimum a little biased towards black kittes , and I'd hate to influence your decision if it turns out it doesn't work.....but sounds to me like Kelly has chosen you, and may have already stolen your heart.

I personally don't think adjusting has anything to do with the age of the cat, but more on the temperament of the cat. I think one of Wayne's ways of telling if the kitty will get along with others is if he can pet their paws. Didn't happen to do that by chance, did you?

I believe all of us here will support you in whatever you decide is best, but I for one am putting my vote in for Kelly.
