Rationally. can you afford them
Do you have the space
Do you have time to groom another too and everything else that another two means
How will the other 10 react
have they known any other cats and how happy would they be with 10 new friends
What will happen to them if you dont have them
Not so rational
Would you like them
They look gorgeous
Will another two make so much difference

I'm terribly sorry, Gillian! We don't appear to be giving you the logical part either! ;)

Ahhh, Gillian! I'm a person based purely on emotion! Everyone around me has to be my "rational thinking." If you feel you have the time, patience, and money and don't feel it would cause too much trouble with your current cat family, I say go for it! :)

LOL! - trouble is I don't have anyone around to be my 'rational thinker' - I have to try and do both! Thanks for your input - here's some pics of them, Jasper is the redpoint (terribly messy eyes - just want to get my hands on 'em and clean 'em up!) and Zeta is the blue-cream point.

Heart or Head?
« Reply #1 on: February 16, 2007, 17:20:56 PM »
Well my heart says I should adopt 2 colourpoint (my fave!) persians of 12 and 13 whose owner has died and the husband is ill so can't cope with them now. My head says, I've already got 10 (had more than that before) but sort of got used to 'only' having 10, not sure about going through all the introductions again, and of course 2 more sets of vet bills and 2 more mouths to feed.

The plus side is that I know the original breeder (it was her that contacted me to see if I'd have them) so I know the temperament will be lovely, easy going, sociable and prob easy to integrate. I really feel sad for them because their mum died suddenly just before xmas and their dad is going downhill fast, he has carers coming in several times a day, so their little world has been turned upside down.

I know only I can decide whether to have them or not - but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts, pros, cons etc etc?
