I wish you were here, Nareeta, so we could sit down together and have a chat. I would make you a nice cup of tea or pour you a glass of wine, whatever beverage suits you.

Thank you for your support. It means a lot. Yes, we've considered an older cat. There are pros and cons to both: A kitten would be much easier to integrate, but, he or she could outlive us and an older cat, which makes the most sense, would make for a much different dynamic. But, you never know. I could ove overthinking the whole thing. That's what I do now.
