I usually have two but now I'm more restrained and only have one. Mind you if a little tiddles happened along, who maybe didn't have a home, then I would just have to rescue it. Anyway cats are the bestest fun outside of computers and are so warm and cuddly. Mine comes to bed with me at night and she will sit up with me until I hit the hay. I sometimes wonder though if she isn't hearding me to bed the way she runs around my feet making sure I keep going in the right direction. 80 Catlin
