But you stepped around what I was asking - think back a couple years to the households that had several pets made ill from the Masterfoods recalls. If you had all 7 damaged from food like that now, and all 7 needed thousands of dollars of vet care - then what? It could total upwards of $40k. Could any of us handle an extra debt of that much?

At what point in a health crisis is it too many? Would two be too many for an individual?
But you answered this question - there are very few people who could handle such a crisis. I think one has to plan for the probable, not the statistical anomalies.

We do have the money,even as they age. Having been back to the shelter and seeing the kitties again, we will be bringing only one home. Originally thought it was Isabella, but actually the one I fell in love with was Missy. They look almost adentical to eachother except Missy has a bit of orange on her face. Anyway, so Missy will come home in a couple of weeks after Sabrina has settled in a little more.

Tricky the calico really wouldn't mesh with the cats we already have. So Missy it will be. Although I will change her name to Isabella when she comes home simply because that is how I think of her now,LOL.

This is definitly not a snap decision and Missy is no kitten. Here is the link to her pet finder add.
