Now that Princess Atilla the Mouse Hun of Kitty Hen Spoiled
Cat Face has moved to the Rainbow Bridge, I am faced with a question.
My first thought was that I would wait a while before
looking for another cat. (Of course, one
never knows when a cat might happen.) I
am a negligent pet parent and although we have almost always done well with
adding animals to our household, Atilla sure didn’t like it when Velox came and
the best it ever was with the two of them was Cold War which was much better
than outright battles. I like having
cats, but I admit that I don’t mind being relieved of cat duty right now and
transferring responsibility to the remaining cat owner.
Joseph suggested that it might be best if we get another cat
right away. His thought is to not let it
become entrenched in her mind, as it had Atilla’s, that ours was and should
remain a one cat house. (And maybe he wants me to continue my cat duties)
So, will I want another cat before Joseph and Atilla move
out? (No plans for that any time soon)
Or will Joseph want a 2nd cat as a companion for
Atilla when he does move out and is gone all day?
Or is it likely that Joseph would someday have a roommate
who has a cat?
If any of those things are likely, we would probably do
better to get another cat soon.
By soon, I mean after I get back from taking Benjamin to the
MTC, I think. Unless a cat happens. A bit long for cat psychology, perhaps, but
life is pretty full right now.
