Walking Down a Different Street

[Not Quitting]

At least by not going out, they don't come home covered with scratches and bites - ours was a real tom cat and very territorial. If he didn't come in at night, we could be pretty sure he'd have fresh battle wounds in the morning.

I'm thinking about getting either a puppy or a cat. H doesn't like cats, despite growing up with them, so would never let us get a cat. S13 desperately wants a pet of some sort - he's even said he'll take a goldfish as a pet. My dad isn't fond of dogs but I reckon if I bought one home he'd accept it. He does like cats so I'm kind of leaning that way. It would have to be an indoor cat though - too many raccoons and coyotes in our neighbourhood.
