I don't, I just talk to his mother and we decide

We only warn him a day or two before the kitty comes home, we're evil broads

He's a total cat person and all around animal lover though.

My hubby is an animal lover too.
Good thing! No mother here to plot with though. How does he take it when you announce that another is coming home?

Just a heavy sigh and a roll of the eyes, complete resignation

He'd never ever veto it if the deed has already been done since all are rescues either born in the clinic from mommas pulled from the shelter or were born feral and pulled from the shelter.
We are of course at our limit though.

Tracey, just come home with one and say, "Honey, look what I found?" I mean, after all, isn't that basically what Jerry keeps doing to me year after year??
Pedals was found on the Pedal to the Point bike a thon in 2002.
Tiggy was found on the Pedal to the Point bike a thon 2003. 2004 was a catless year. 2005 Bailey was found on the Pedal to the Point bike a thon. I either have to get a bigger house or he needs to stop volunteering on that bike a thon!!

Hmmmm... that is the way in our house too. Come to think of it... he is "ahead" of me.

Think I could convince him that it was a birthday and christmas present?

First.... you take the kitten... then.. you introduce the secret weapon.... one of his socks. Give sock to kitten and engage kitten in play. Make sure the kitten is playing cutely with sock when you bring your husband in the room.

No one can resist a kitten playing with a sock.

Cute little stuffed animals like ducks work also.

When I got Bakker I left home with the carrier at 8:00 and returned about 11:30 with Bakker. I don't think DH knew I was serious on actually getting a cat that day!!
Too bad - it did. But we are at an agreed upon moritorium currently. So we have 4 cats!!

I got a cat carrier at a yard sale about 2 months ago, it is still in the back of the SUV....


We've had an agreement, long ago about 4 cats is enough. But he also said he didn't need any more "toys" (Electronic doo-dads) but someone he keeps coming up with ideas and I keep giving in.

So, you already have a specific cat in mind?
