I HAD 3 cats along with Mr. P (the kitties were there first). My laid back I'm-a-dog cat passed from renal failure. Then my boo-ful princess had a stroke, which broke my heart. Then my Momma's Boy mouser got sick and had to be put to sleep. After the heartbreak of my darling girl, I don't have room in my heart for another kitty right now.

Cats can stay home alone for a short weekend - as long as they have gallons of water, plenty of food, and 200 litter boxes.
