Very sorry to hear
They become family
The kids have wanted one for a few years now & I have put it off because it's a 2nd job and I don't like to face the heartache later that you're going through right now.
But I finally gave in & getting them one right before Christmas.
Do you have other pets still BAS?
Yeah 2 more Cats, will turn 2 on the new year ( born were July 2017 ) Brother and Sister
they were a replacement for the two I last lost, which were brothers and were RagDolls ( great breed ) * look them up, and if you can somehow find them without paying, jump on it. ( you might be able to get them without papers, that's how I got them )
of course over the years we have gone the adoption route, but always get them young. Yes I know adult cats need a home too
just thought it would be a problem being there always seems to be an overlap and didn't want to bring in an older cat with one or two already home.
Not really a second job, just clean the litter box. Never had them on Wet food, dry food which I use a feeder so I don't have to keep on putting food in a bowl
a little wet food once in a while, Tuna, etc...
Water Feeder as well, but needs to be cleaned good every 5-6 days
I use to declaw the front paws, but I no longer believe in it. Over seeing one of our kittens go through it, Never again
But they do need to be fixed, which as long as you go through adoption or a Pet store, they should be fixed.
If you're getting a Male, red tabby are Great in my opinion. Their personality is Great, and great with young kids
for Females I like calico, a little sweeter then most females
