Just wondering if anyone else has wanted to adopt another cat but had a hard time going through with it. I am having a very tough inner struggle with this. I have 2 cats and that is plenty for me. But I had a third cat who I lost in September. He was very special to me and his brother Charlie. The loss hit us both very hard. I feel in my heart that Charlie would like another friend. His sister is not interested in him at all and sometimes puts him in his place.
I would love to see Charlie cuddling and playing with another cat like he did with his brother. But I worry. Every time you bring a cat into the house you are risking stress, illness, disease. When I adopted my second and third cats previously I never worried about these factors until I lost Petey. Now I am clinging to Charlie and so fearful of taking that risk.
I know I sound nuts. Has anyone else gone through this type of situation?
