Actually, I think about things like age structure too ... Chia is 16, the boys are 13, and Minnow is 4. I'm waiting until Chia pops her clogs before adding any more. And then it will be a pair, for the reasons you outline. Though I think Minnow will enjoy kittens. She has so much to teach them.
Jess and Iver Chia and Kaeti (liked cars ... a lot, in all the wrong ways) Smudge and Snufkin
Tomlin was a stray who attempted to adopt my former father-in-law Bandit was a stray who adopted us The Late Lamented Sophie arrived because I wanted a frivolous kitten, and also because Iver had gone missing for three months and I thought Jess needed a little friend ... Iver promptly came home again. Sophie had kitty leukaemia when she was eighteen months. Minnow was ... is ... well, she seemed like a good idea, and I haven't changed my mind.
I rather thought I'd had more cats than that ... hmm.
