What made you sad today...

The other night, I had a dream that I ended up with a houseful (4, to be exact) of kitties that I rescued. As it turned out, that number soon tripled because, well...you know, lol. There were also about 4 or 5 baby elephants living in my home (I adore elephants but still, yikes!) that were rescues.

[As an aside, this was interesting to me because most of the cats and of course, the elephants were gray and recently all of my dreams have been hypercolored with vivid scents and bold patterns.]

When I was sharing this dream with a friend of mine, he suggested that it meant I needed to get another cat very soon. He said that I could save a kitty from a life of abuse.

The thought made me promptly burst into tears as I remembered my sweet cat who recently passed away. She can't ever be replaced and the very idea of getting another pet makes me feel like a betrayer.

Conversely, I was also saddened at the thought of not getting another pet and possibly dooming it to a life of hardship.

I just don't think I can do it, though.
