Kass, it's wonderful to hear from you again and I'm glad to hear that the renovations are going well. Hopefully your kitchen renovations will go smoothly so then you'll be finished and you'll be able to add a couple of kitties to your household.

I grew up with mainly female cats and they weren't as loving as the one male cat that we had. I then had male cats of my own for many years until I adopted Pearl and Ziggy. Now I'm so glad that I finally decided to add a couple of females to my mix. They're all very loving towards me. I say go for a male and a female if you can. Then you'll have one of each. I'm sure that you'll find the purrfect pair when the time is right. Good luck.
