I Think I Am Going To Get A Cat

[jd9900]

It's been over a year since my dog died, and I don't think I want the extra responsibilities I'd have to take on with another dog versus a cat.

I'm hoping to adopt a kitten from the local SPCA/shelter, and looking forward to having a companion that doesn't hate me quite as much as humans seem to. :)

If anyone has any suggestions for names, I am all ears. I'm not sure if I'll get a male or a female, so names for either gender are fine.

Thanks, and I hope you are all doing well today.

That is great to hear! I never thought I'd be a Cat person until I had a Cat... Now I have 3, and I love them!

I hope you find a sweet kitty to call your own. They truly are great companions!

As far as names...

Sparticus sounds cool, lol!

Hope your day is going great as well!

Yay for adopting! I vote you wait on the name until to get to know your new kitty abit. That way you can pick a name that fits the personality. Best of luck, I look forward to hearing all about your new kitten. :)

I honestly think you should. I just got my kitty, that you see in the picture on my profile and its helped a lot with my PTSD!

Yeah, I did this every time with a "new" furry comrade I adopted!

Yay for new baby kitties! I'm in the wait and see camp too. Don't forget to post pics in the "Our Pets" thread when you get the little fluffball. That is if you don't mind sharing.

I agree with waiting on a name until you see it's personality. I was just thinking the other day how calming cats are and how much mine have eased my stress and been there for me. Especially when you're not feeling well and they look at you with their big kitty eyes. I melt haha. Yay for kitties!

I miss having a pet so much, and regret that I gave the Dude's dog back to him. However, I am so happy for you for adopting a shelter pet, they usually make such wonderful companions. I am also with those that say wait, the cat will name itself.

I'll definitely post pics when/if (hoping it is a when, gotta make certain the Misses is okay with it) I get him/her. And I'll wait for a name, that is a good point, guys.

It took me up until this week just to get to this point. I lost my dog about 18 months ago, and I was a mess for a while after that.

I still miss my dog, it has been 6 years. Uh, yeah, check with the missis, lol, I hope she is supportive and not allergic. Back when I was married, my Hubby developed severe allergies to my cat, that I had before I met him. Eenie, meenie, minie, moe, one of you has to go. The cat went to my Mom's. I divorced him many years later. Should have kept the cat :D

Good for you for choosing to adopt. The SPCA has such a great selection of cats.
