Kitten poll

[resonant]

Yesterday the kidlet was begging me for a kitten. (Actually the kidlet was begging me for two kittens, plus another grown cat, but we won't address that.)

I said what I always say about cats: "First, I don't know how well our poor humble kitty would adapt to having another feline in the house. Second, I refuse to have a cat declawed, and I'd be worried about damage to the furniture and/or carpet. And finally, we don't have to go out looking for a cat. When the universe wants us to have a cat, the universe will provide one."

Today, the manager of my coffee shop is trying to get rid of a litter of kittens.

So what do you think?

A lot of the cat rescues around here only adopt kittens in pairs for just that reason. And so that they can entertain each other and stay out of trouble when you're gone for the day.

I'd really like to get two. The spouse is balking now, but then again, they're only three weeks old, so we've got a little time to decide.
