Mind you, this does not mean I am not going to look for her a new home.///

Uh-huh. *IF* you say so. LOL! ;o)

Congratulations on the new owner!

I'm not sure when it happened, but at some time in the last month, I went
from being a fosterer to being owned. (Shut up Yowie!) I am still
resisting it, but the fact remains that Calico is still here, partly due
to my father's death and partly due to her illness and partly due to her
hyperthyroidism that is going to have to be treated. But she sleeps with
me, all four cats greet me at the door when I come in, I have a special
feeding routine just for her (she won't eat the kibble I have lying
around). She has become routine in my household. I have become owned yet
again. I wouldn't have thought it possible in this one bedroom apartment
to have four cats and not have it disturb the peace. But except for a few
growls here and there, they really get along great most of the time.

Mind you, this does not mean I am not going to look for her a new home.
But it does mean that it is going to come after I finish catching up in
all of my classes, do my final projects, write thank you notes for my
fathers funeral stuff, send out all the stuff to family members about my
father's funeral like obituary and stuff. And THEN I will make flyers
about Calico. Until then, she is doing quite well here and I see no
reason to add one more thing to the mix of things I need to do. And I
will be owned until we find someone else - a really good someone else -
for her to own. Now that I am owned, there is no particular hurry to get
her out of here. (I can hear you laughing, Yowie, it isn't very
becoming.)

Bridget, you know you can't have an even number of cats. Five is a good
number, LOL!

Good luck with the new Kitties, Calicos are great. We've got two now, one
regular and one stripey.

Reminds me of the time I picked up Anthony from the street (starving
and with burnt paws), took a pillow outside, and said, "Here, this is
your spot. Outside. We don't need any more cats inside." Within 12
hours he was inside, I was saying, "How did that happen?" and my friend
was laughing his head off... That was when my house got named "St.
Francis' Farm for Forlorn and Forsaken Felines".

I think that is a great plan.
Please take really good care of yourself, Bridget. We are thinking of
you, sending purrs and best wishes,
