Not sure if we should keep a kitty nor not! I know you can't make a decision for me but maybe you can help!
In April I found four 7 day old kittens that I have raised. They are 12 weeks old now, one got adopted last week, one is going getting adopted by my dad tomorrow. So there are 2 left. One of the kittties that is still here (Stitch) had been my favorite since the very beginning. I fell in love with Stitch right away and she has only grown on me (and DH) more and more! We were thinking of keeping her, and had pretty much made that decision, but then my dog got sick. We spent A LOT of money on him and now he requires monthly medication for life. At that point we decided not to keep Stitch since the money it would cost to keep her had just gone to the dog. Well...the more we have her the harder it gets,we just love her SO much! We figured out 1 more cat wouldn't be too much extra and we would just have to adjust the budget by a little bit. The only thing that would be hard is if she, or anybody else, had an emergency and needed medical care that wasn't planned for. We could pay for it, it would just not be easy...
SO I am just not sure what to do! I'm trying to not let my heart get in the way of a smart decision, but I am just worried about finances if we had some kind of emergency. The reason we started thinking of keeping her again is my bday was a week ago...and DH said that my bday present from him is that we can keep her!
Also, (this may sound weird) but our cat, Roxy, has always been our on and only cat. So she has gotten all the attention...and I am hesitant about Stitch b/c I feel bad for Roxy! lol.

THANKS!!!
