Now, because I am so old, I will not get any more. I have a young dog and an old cat, and when they go, no more pets.

I understand the urge to care for pets and to have good companions, but it doesn't work if you have too many.

I think our friend Siwsan has the right approach in bringing in ferals, socializing and neutering them, and then placing them in loving homes.
