YES of course you should get a kitteh! Everyone should have one. :) Mine are second only to my family in my heart. They’ve been loyal, honest and hysterically funny, unlike some “friends” I’ve had along the way.
Re the timing: NOW is absolutely the time to get them. I’m involved with kitten rescue so I see this, and the shelters are STUFFED with kittens right now. Many shelters are literally giving away older kittens (over 4 months — still very playful!) and adult cats, or sometimes even little kittens. If you wait a month that won’t be true anymore. You should get one now! This weekend! Save a little life, and make yourself happy in the bargain. :)
The local shelter has been giving them away, and I have been drawn to the cat building, but getting the “accessories” and the pet deposit for this complex have been deterrences.
However, I’m thinking this is a good time, and the “call” is so much stronger that I really can’t ignore it any longer. I NEED DAT KITTEH!!!
Wish me luck on the deposit and the initial accessories! (Toys, treats, scratching post, etc.)
