So sorry to ;hear about your mom, my heart goes out to you.

I do understand about cats ... only 2????  Oh, my.  WE have 8 (no ... 7, see thread on Bojangles further down the page) All rescues.  1 at a local WalMart that was being given away and a hyper little girl who wasn't being very nice to it was interested, so we saved it from going home with her.  One was offered to us as a "find" but we knew the father of the house told the kids they couldn't keep him, one from a cat colony where I worked at the time, one from Jo's (my partner) daughter who found a kitten hiding in her yard that had been abandened and finally the kittens (they are over 3 years old now) who were abandened in a local park.  PLUS ... 2 rescue dogs.  We are looking for a house big enough to accomedate all of us.  :)

"Pets" and other animals in our lives are always blessings that help teach us kindness and compassion, if we let them.  Glad you have some new "babies".
