So yesterday whilst visiting the RSPCA I came home with a 9wk old Kitten who we have named Lucy.

For awhile now we have been humming and ahhing getting a pet for the girls.
We thought either a small indoor dog or a kitten would be good.

I brought a kitten.
DD1 (3.5yrs) is loving her, DD2 (18mths) is not too sure.
I am now having doubts on whether i have done the right thing?
But i always do this when we buy something or something big happens. For some reason i can't relax and enjoy the idea of it and all these negative thoughts keep going through my head.

Right now it is the selfish thought that we were just getting to the stage that the girls are old enough that we can just pack up and go away. But now we have someone else to consider. I am even jealous that when the day comes and the girls spend the weekend at the grandparents it won't be just DH and I, there will be still a cat around! is that silly? When DD1 was born i had a case of the baby blues and found it hard to accept the fact that it was no longer DH and I, and i guess i am kinda getting like that again.

But Lucy (kitten) won me over in the RSPCA, and when she snuggles up to me my heart melts.

Cats are really easy to look after arn't they? they won't affect the family "dynamics" too much hey?

Most importantly we can still have a life with a cat? can we not?
