    Has your DS got a valid reason why not? I think you'd love the cats and I'm sure they wouldn't be any trouble. Is he thinking about possible vet bills? Your best boy will come round - mine did eventually, although it was more tolerance than acceptance. He never forgave me for getting the dog though.
    DS is worried that my other best boy will not cope well with the introduction of two new cats.
    I have to say that this is my main concern too.
    But I do think if the introductions are done properly all should be ok.
    Tolerance is ok.

    Arrrrgh.

    Good luck with the cats.
    I'm hoping for my dog by the end of 2018.
    Now I have my 4 days agreed I only have 2 days where I am not home. It is all looking more possible :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    One of my work friends sadly lost both her old cats this year within weeks of each other. She vowed not to get another cat as she was so upset. So a few weeks down the line and she now has two rescue cats. We can't live without them can we :)

    I still cannot make my mind about the cats.
    Heart says yes.
    Head says no.

    I am so so tired.
    Had a long snooze this afternoon & woke up feeling really groggy.
    So missed book club.

    Great news about the cc :)

    Could you write a list of pros and cons for the cat decision? Ultimately only you can decide what's best for you in the end.
