Cheryl: I think getting a cat during this time would be a really bad idea. Nay�s mom will be requiring a great deal of assistance. On top of everything else, if she is having bone removed from her leg for mandible reconstruction she will be having difficulty walking for several weeks. This is a huge operation that takes a long time to recover from. Animals are wonderful, however a new pet during this time would be extra work. Creating additional work for her and her carers at this time is crazy.
