I was watching Vlad and Oksana playing last night. They love to take turns chasing each other, and it looks so adorable. I'd just finished emailing a friend who had her dog neutered because he was peeing on her bed too much.
I told her that I'd hoped she also realized it was good for his health to have done that, and also good that he won't be adding to the unwanted pet population.
Then I started wondering, how wonderful it would have been to have a couple of Vlad and Oksana's kids running around the place. I almost wish I'd let them have kitties before I spayed or neutered them, but that would not have been fair to them and it would have put too much of a financial burden on my right now.
If I'd been guaranteed she would have had only 2 kittens, but then what if she'd had complications. I love my Little Miss so much, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her.
My decision was best for them both in the long run. And there are so many little ones out there in need of a home. I'd always planned on getting another kitty after Vlad and Oksana were finished with their kitty boosters. At that time, I'll be in a better financial position and can give another kitty a loving home.
