I would not adopt to him if he dumped the cat. I am just trying to figure out how to answer his question - is being lonely a good reason to adopt a cat? I guess my question is what happens if he gets a girlfriend and is no longer lonely, is the cat going to end up ignored?

Kelly lane This is an email I got. I've been thinking about how to respond for a while and still can't figure it out. <i>Hi, This may seem odd, but I figured you guys would probably know best. I want to be a cat owner. I'm 27, a professional with no life in sight, and I love cats. I grew up with cats, back on my parents ranch, and simply adore them. I'd adopt one without any hesitation except for one problem. I adopted a cat before, and had to take him back to the rescue shelter I got him from. After almost 2 years with him it was very heart breaking, but I had lost my job, and the Bay Area of California is a fairly unforgiving place economically. My only close friend (we both moved there from Boerne, TX) said I could live with him and his girlfriend, but that I couldn't bring my cat. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about him, as I truly did love him. I couldn't provide for him and had to give him up. I like to think that he's somewhere warm and nice, and that his new owners give him as much love and care as I did. My mother, who is a fanatical cat lover, almost disowned me, and will still cry about it. Anyway, as I've said, I'm alone, and want to adopt a cat to have someone to love, basically. I just don't know if that's a valid/healthy/good reason to want to adopt and figured I'd ask some professionals.</i> -- Rescuties - Saving the world, one cat at a time. http://www.rescuties.org Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20 No virus found in this incoming message.
