As some of you know, my cat had 4 kittens back in May.
It's coming quite close to the time when they're old enough to be given away ... BUT I LOVE THEM ALL! It's so hard ...
There's one I called Pixie (cuz she's so devilish and mischievous) who is "spoken for" already. She absolutely adores me. Yeah she nips (hard) and she likes to claw up my arm (ouch) to sit on my shoulder and purr like a mack truck ... *sniffle*
But I'm going to miss her, bite wounds and scratch marks and all.
My bf likes two other kittens. One he calls Booger (cuz she always has boogers in her nose), and the other one he calls Puppy (cuz he acts like one). He's thinking of keeping those two.
It's entirely his decision, because my cat, Gizmo, loves me unconditionally, and he is my one-kitty-love. (Plus he's jealous and gets all pouty when he sees one of the kittens with me). My bf needs a cat (or two) to love and be loved the same way. (Aegee, the mom and technically his cat, is not very affectionate. Or even nice for that matter.)
He says I can keep them all if I want, but I know that the litter box situation, hair/allergy situation, and the food running out like water will soon tax on our tempers. It's just not practical for us.
How did you guys, who have had kittens born, dealt with the pain of giving them away? Pixie's not even gone yet but my heart is already breaking ...
