    Wow, glad it worked out! I’d say impulse buying a pet is usually not a good idea!

    But I see you already had cats? (Or you wanted kitty litter for… something else?) And adopting a shelter pet… worst that happens is it goes back to the shelter I guess! So maybe not so risky in your situation.

      We had one cat and didn’t expect a second but it was a conversation that we had started and expected that maybe the first cat was alone and sad when we left for work (in the long ago era of 2013, a pre pandemic life). Given that the shelter was locally well respected we took a look and, yeah, it’s risky but that’s the nature of impulse purchases!
