Welcome to the board. I also am single but have 2 girls and a boy, kitties that is. Yes, they're my family. Each comes with their own character but most times they get along with each other. My little boy as I call him is the newest and a problem child as he loves to irritate the girls. He's just figured out he can jump up on the bed to the girls' fear but he normally won't get up there until around 5am and then the fun begins. Tabby just moves over to the window seat and if irritated too long, Pepper, my oldest girl will take off. Boomer, my little boy likes to chew cords I found out early so I've got them hung up high where he can't get them and for whatever reason, he's always either chewing on messing witht he baseboard heat so I have to yell at him to take off. But he's still my little boy and I wouldn't give him up for anything, just like my girls.
