A few biased and opinionated words of advice:
*Cats have longer, healthier lives inside.
*Two cats are better than one. They keep each other company while you're gone. And don't be worried about having a favorite, we all do.
*You'll never regret it!!
They are marvelous companions. And I'm mainly a dog person but I miss my amazing Siameses like crazy. (Hubby's horrible allergies led to our not getting another one after our last one died.)

Good luck and keep us posted.
