Cats, Nearly

arwen_luneIt's a really bad idea for me to browse the national sheltersite. Really, really bad idea. Found a pair of cats that really seriously would love to have. Bonded pair of two brothers, half siamese from the looks of them. 4 years old, always been indoor cats, AND socialised with dogs.
Seriously ideal. *WIST*
Don't think it's the right time though. It's kind of a scary decision to begin with, getting first own pet as a Real Adult. Still feels like somebody should give me permission or something. Yes, I am planning for a dog, but that would likely be a lengthy process, starting well before pups are even born - so lots of leadup. If I decided to go for these cats, I'd have to make a move within a few days.
Once I graduate there will be a period of unemployment. I'll get income support but it'll still be tight, and I feel worried about taking on cats that I could support if all goes well and they're healthy, but might get into trouble if they need advanced medical care, because I don't know how long that period will be.
But they are so damn ideal, and I want cats SO much. And sometimes it seems like I make way too much worries about something like this and that loads of other people wouldn't hesitate and would make it work out...
