Heeheehee. Yes, Nina, you have pushed it too far. :)
Not for lack of want, but budget/living space/landlord-wise 2 is my cap. And honestly, 2 below the knee and me is a pretty good fit. One day though...one day. :)
I took Satch to the vet today because he's picked up Azrael's cold. I tried my best to keep their air separate, but I guess that I wasn't that good. I washed and wore different outfits, but a small apartment is what it is.
Anyway, I kind of freaked when he started making the same sounds on Wednesday night that Az had (the horky cough), even though his energy levels were high, had no fever (which I compulsively started checking), and was still consta-ravenous, but it had taken her so fast. The vet (not my normal, but another in the office) was very nice, he assured me that Satch was doing great and that I'd done the right thing to come in - the wait-and-see approach (one of my personal favorites) doesn't always end so well with positive cats, so he put Satch on Clavamox and an herb (um, it's a liquid....Western Herb? or something) to keep it from progressing. He was very confident, and like with the animals that made me feel better. So we'll see. Satch loves visiting places, so he was happy to meet a new person, even if he got poked in the toosh for the third time in one morning.
This new vet also read my mind and when I asked if it was crazy to contemplate adopting another, he said no, that my odds have got to turn at some point! I was like, you ain't kiddin' mister.

Oh Leslie you've made my day! This is such wonderful news. Please know
that your courage is inspirational. I'm so pleased for Trixie, no
matter what, she's going to get a home. Hooray!! Many, many prayers
that she overcomes her URI. You should go visit her and tell her that
she's going to get a home, either with you or someone else. Tell her to
fight to get well so she can go home! You said "these guys"... I
recall you talking about one of Azrael's littermate's adoption falling
through. I thought that was Trixie. Is there another one? If so, why
don't you increase your odds and adopt them both? (Have I pushed it too
far? :-) )
With gratitude and admiration,
Nina
