Kay WILL make a great cat mum in 2 or 3 years when she has her own flat/house and the space for an inside cat or two !!!

Getting a cat now would just be for very selfish reasons and not taking a cat social needs into account.

I appreciate your opinion, but i just don't understand it.

And I guess you don't understand that the cat would get just as much love and attention as an inside cat would.

And it's not necessarily going to be a "cage". The area where the enclosure would go up, is like the size of the rooms in this house.


I don't understand how it would be selfish. I wouldn't get an animal "just because". I'd get it to love, and to care for, and to give it a better home than it has at the shelter.
