Well I can honestly say that I lost the mantra...I am travelling for work right now and get back into town tomorrow. On Friday I am getting a 4th kitty. I am a softtouch and fell for the story. A woman at the university where I was, had to give up her 12 y/o cat. Her option was to turn her over to the shelter where she was told that she would be put to sleep because she is too old to be adopted. She was moving cross country and had a fiance that was allergic to cats, so needless to say I am now gaining a 4th cat into my household... It is a good thing that I am buying a house and moving in July
