Adopt her! Like Ali says, 6 is no worse than 5 after all.
But make it very, VERY clear to the children than any other cats from now on will go straight to the shelter. Explain it is actually the kindest thing to do as they will have a chance of forever homes without other cats.
I have two cats - a work cat and a home cat.
Hely spends most of every day with me. She is friendly to the other people who work here (with a genuine fondness for the men) but if I leave my desk to go into the yard, the kitchen, the bathroom, like as not she'll follow me. If it's the kitchen or bathroom I'll find her waiting patiently outside the door when I come out.
It's been officially sanctioned by work now, although a number of people have mused about adopting her officially. I think this would be the wrong move - she has a home with HM but it's obviously me she's bonded with. It would be unfair on HM to "disappear" her, and probably very upsetting for Hely to be cat-napped with no chance of seeing me again.
Diz, my darling Diz, is finally settling into living in the pub. Oh well, he's robust enough to cope with another move! I filmed one of our play sessions last night. I try to devote an hour to him every day - being an indoor cat isn't a natural life after all. I'll post it in the Pets thread when I download it.
