Thanks Brian!.It does still hurt and we are all sad about Jasper, I feel horrible that we couldn't provide the home he needed. It wasn't my fault and it certainly wasn't his. I don't think it's right to give up the idea of having a happy multiple cat house hold with children. BB adjusted perfectly fine BUT we got her as a kitten. She is the most well rounded cat I have ever been around, not only is she not stressed by the kids but she demands their attention. It's been awhile sine we have had a kitten and we are nervous but excited. His/her birth is planned around January 11th so we still have some time to plan. It is really not that we are replacing Jasper, no cat ever could, but we feel we are a happier home with two felines running around. We can play with a single cat (BB or any other cat) all day long and they still wouldn't benefit from that as much as they would another cat. I feel very confident with this breeder and I am honestly blown away by his knowledge and the way he treats his cats. The kittens mom is 2 years old, a champion, and scanned for HCM twice. The dad is almost 4 with 4 HCM scans, from one of the top breeders in the states, and he is nothing short of stunning. I will be posting more info once I get the ok with the breeder. I am waiting now on the deposit contract so we can get on the list. Hopefully we will have 2nd pick as I know he already has one deposit on the litter.
