I have no desire to have another pet. Since my early childhood I have lived with and loved many pets. By my best recollection over the years there have been ten dogs and ten cats (not including the many barn cats when we lived in the country). There have also been parakeets, fish, mice, hamsters and a snake. Again I say, I have no desire to have a pet. However this evening my son texted me a picture of a beautiful kitten he and his family have applied to adopt from a local shelter. She is adorable. I do hope they get her. My daughter and her family have three dogs so I get my dog patting fix when I visit them. If my son gets a cat I can get my cat cuddling fix whenever I visit them. This is definitely a win win situation. It's a little like the joy of being a grandparent. You can love your grandchildren lavishly, then leave them with their parents. It's the same with grand-pets. You can love them and leave them.
