No kitten today--cats only

I've got to return to Petco Saturday, which is kitten day. I saw a lovely BIG adolescent orange tabby who is already twice Bella's size--now if he started out smaller than her when she met him, that would be fine but he's too big for an introduction. Hopefully there will be someone younger but similar. I've been told orange males are usually very loving :-)
