I think I have four owners now
"Bridget" wrote in message news:v6MYf.80991$oL.46300@attbi_s71... 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 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". Cantate (plus or minus a few meows) |
