I miss having kitties. My mom used to rescue abandoned kittens and raise them. Usually she'd find a home for them, but we rarely had fewer than 12 cats in the house. Now that I'm living in an apartment with my hubby, we're not allowed to have pets and I really miss having something warm and purring in the room. Stuffed animals just don't make up for it. When we move next year, I have decided that we won't even CONSIDER moving into any place that doesn't at least allow cats, and being able to have a dog or two would be a bonus.
