ok. i found one i am in love with. literally, in love. i played with a ton today (yes, rescue kitties!) and when i held this little guy i had a feeling. i knew i wanted him. i already picked out his name. eddie!
here's my problems:
-im scared of jasper's reaction. as you guys know, jasper was a TOUGH kitty. hes so normal now with olivia, and im afraid to throw that off. i would feel absolutely terrible if he was unhappy. plus, olivia and jasper get along FABULOUSLY, but when shes around her brother (my brothers cat) she hisses at him and cant be in the same room.
-3 cats? i feel like it needs to be an even number and there is no way im getting 2 more.
-my apt only allows 2 pets. this would bring me to 3. on the other hand, though, they only know about jasper, not olivia. and my last apt didnt know at all. so i figure they wont really find out. its not like dogs, that would be easy to find out.
-my dad is PISSED. he told me he wont help me at all (i asked him to come over and feed them when im in nyc for a weekend in december) and he wont drive my brother to help either. i live alone, but he cosigned my apt. i feel like its unfair to him to get one when he really doesnt want me to. but its MY life, MY apartment, and MY decision.
but on the bright side..
-if it doesnt work out, REALLY doesnt, i can take him back. not that i want to do this, but its always an option if things REALLY didnt work out in time.
-i love him. i have a feeling about this one. i didnt get like that over olivia. i wasnt sure if i wanted her or her brother, i just knew i wanted a new baby. i got her because she was there. i wanted a brand new kitten, and i wanted one i could take right away. that was her. i love her to death, but there was nothing special that drew me to her. this little guy, i played with 5 before him and when i got to him i knew it had to be him.
for the record, jasper is probably around 14 months (dont know for sure) and olivia is about 6-7 months. this little guy is 11 weeks.
please help! the little guy is on hold and im supposed to go back at noon tomorrow. i wanted to cry when i left him and i still want to even though i left there an hour ago. i cant stop thinking about it.
(please, PLEASE dont say i should get him just so he has a home. they are kittens and will be grabbed up soon. i need to think about what is best for me, my cats, and him.)

i would feel like the worst person in the world if i messed that up for him. he isnt your average cat, so its hard to predict how things will go.
and as for my dad.. the only reason i am worrying about that is because im not allowed to have them in my place. he cosigned. so it wouldnt be just me dealing with the consequences if somehow they did find out, you know?
I believe you Dottie and you have my support
