What a weird think to think about. I honestly can’t say I’ve ever imagined what a co-worker’s house smells like.


DP Not weird at all. Cat people's houses always smell and they are nose blind to it. People who don't have cats think about how your house must smell bad every time you mention your cats (especially if there are more than 2). I have a cousin about 10 states away who puts out food for strays and posted once on Facebook that she had 3 different litters of kittens in her yard at that time (calling them her little angels) and I said to my husband "I feel like I can smell her house from here."

OP - would your DH be okay with fostering? All the kitten cuteness, none of the long-term commitment.


I know you probably won’t believe this because you want to think that all of our houses stink if we have cats, but frequently we have people over to the house and we will mention the cat or a cat will eventually pop out. People are frequently surprised that we have cats and say they would have had no idea. Some of us work really hard to make sure the litter box is cleaned & fresh. What else about a cat would smell?

A third cat brings more fun and changes the dynamic of the animal family and there is about ten times hilarity going on with three cats.

Doesn’t the third cat eat?

The trick is to get a third cat of a color of one of the two. The husband WILL NEVER notice! Just make sure they won't come to eat at the same time...



BRILLIANT

I'd love a cat, but at least 2 of us 4 are allergic to cats.

Sigh...

Kittens are so annoying. Attacking your feet, knocking stuff off things, nocturnal. Yes, three cats is cat lady territory.

Foster. A friend is currently fostering 5 kittens from a local shelter.
