“...the ‘experts’ say that you should always have an even number of cats”
Experts... I had one cat, and traveled for work. Poor thing seemed so lonesome, so, I got her a buddy. She hates him. After five years, she hates him. Now he has low self-esteem. I want to get him a buddy so she can grumble in peace. Can’t see a third, just can’t!
Well, maybe if the right Maine Coon male came along...
Have always wanted a Maine Coon; but I’m partial to the waifs who show up at the local rescue, and the MC hasn’t shown up yet.
I’ve got two loveable Tuxedo brothers right now; but I think the sweetest cat I’ve ever met was a ‘Snowshoe’:
