I had two cats for years also. Then my tuxedo cat got lymphoma and had to be put down
So I have one older alley cat at the present. I would get another but since the kids have all grown up we tend to travel more than we did and getting someone to take care of the cats while I am gone is not easy. We are going down the shore in August and I am having to bribe my son to come by the house and feed and water the cat LOL.
