Don't do it. I fell into the same trap about 15 years ago. It does nothing to take away the kid agenda - probably only sharpens it - and when they come you get a double whammy of selfish small animals who whine constantly to be fed, fill your house with poo, destroy your favourite things and relegate you to the Blue Square Affection League. I find lots of things to compensate where the kids are concerned, but that's only increased my hatred for the cat, who insists on living forever to spite me.

What are you, not yet 25? You're much too young for kids, and quite rightly too self-centred to stand life with a cat. You should put both off for at least a decade, and probably even then some. And then, in the case of the cat, continue to resist forever. When you're about 40 and if you've got plenty of outdoor and indoor space, consider getting a decent dog. Much better friend to the whole family.

I agree 100%
You have been warned, young man.

I'm 31 and this would be my 7th cat... But thanks I suppose. Also I fucking hate dogs.

[jayohaitchenn]

Actually 8th, I forgot one. Gruff, Bonsai, Sean, Billy, Dave, Dylan and Lucy. New one is going to be called Worf if it's a boy.

HTH. Would be glad if you can share the secret of how to see off so many cats in so little time. I'd only be 1.5 cats down in 31 years. Do you use them to test your drugs?

[Panda Paws]

I recently got a cat - £50 off gumtree and it's fucking ace.

Gruff went to live with my sister when she moved out of my parent's house, Bonsai was poisoned (I grew up in Penhill), Sean and Billy went to live with my mum when she moved to Yeovil, Dave was the victim of my marriage breakdown and now lives with the in-laws, Dylan and Lucy were my brother's cats. I looked after them for a year but got fed up with them as they are pedigree and have awful temperaments. Dylan lives with a friend of mine now, Lucy was quite sickly and died of a heart attack.

[jayohaitchenn]

Oh and Gruff only died a few years ago, he lived to be 22 He was the coolest fucking cat ever. My brother had him from 6 weeks and he used to walk with my brother all over Swindon. The furthest he went was from Beatrice Street where they lived all the way to the tall flats in Penhill.

I took the kids to the cat shelter, they choose a new kitten, they want to call it Chopstick

Don't let kids call pets names. A local in the pub did that with a pair of Black Lab puppies. They were nickety and nock. Stupid names, but it gets worse.

Of course when he takes them for a walk with the kids, the kids, being kids, call them back by shortening their names and mispronouncing them. So you have a pair of black labs being called back by their owners going 'Nig! Nog!'. The names have stuck now, which makes life quite embarassing for him. Funny mind.

I did that, but the shelter made me bring them home again
