Dear Ti, how I hope you are going to be happy in your new home. I think you will like having your very own kitten to take care of.
The dogs probably won't take much of your nonsense, so be sure to pack your good manners and take them with you.
I wish you a long and love filled life, sweet Ti.
In case this question of Ti's breed could turn into a serious issue...Quote:

Send ALL his paperwork to New Mom;

(with NO copies being made or retained by New Vet.)
And ask him to list Mr Ti Ti as possibly a "mixed Tabby" on the New Vet records.
If New Mom keeps all his Old Records in the privacy of her home -
no one will ever see any written record of what his breed might be.
;)
Sounds good. Isn't he that feral tabby you just rescued?
And his name is simply Ti, not Sungod's Titanic Tiberius:D
All paws crossed. As long as he cannot breed -there is no harm in it.
Ti does have papers and they are all screwed up, saying that he is an unspayed female. Since Beth is not going to be entering him into any shows and he is neutered, he will be a house cat and live a long and happy life.
I have emailed the original breeder, asking her for more information of his "F status".... aka how far back in his line, the wild cat entered the gene pool. I am not too worried about that, but it may clear up any status problem, since I doubt if he is even close to the foundation cats...... I think once they reach a certain level of removal from the foundation, they become domesticated Bengal kitties.
The kitten that Ti will be playing with is half Bengal. And I think Ti may be a half-witted cat, so doesn't that make just one Bengal? Two halves make a whole? :)
I trust that this issue with Bengal cats in CT is a breeders issue for the most part and that once a cat is neutered or spayed the issue is moot. I could be wrong. I just don't feel as though Ti fits the bill since he is such a domesticated soul.
I will keep you posted. I intend to go through with this. I have done worse things in my life time.... and wild horses would not drag that information out of me..... This seems tame compared to lots of CRIMES!
:rolleyes:
Denver doesn't allow Bengals, and there was some hoopla awhile back when a fellow who wasn't aware of the restriction tried to license his Bengal, Clyde, with the city. He made the mistake of listing Clyde as a Bengal rather than as a tabby on the registration form, and the city told him that Clyde would have to leave town.
All worked out for the best, though--the newspapers and TV stations did stories featuring Clyde, who was a big sleepy lap cat, and city authorities finally agreed that Clyde was hardly a danger to the public and could stay.
Good luck to you Ti!! Let us knowhow you like your new home, okay:) ?!
Sas, I don't know if this will help but there is a Bengal breeder listed in CT.
http://bengalcats1.com/
They have been breeding since before the CT law changed, maybe you want to contact them to see what they know about the law.
I would think a breeder with litters of kittens would be more affected by the state law than someone with one neutered male cat.
Also since the kitten Beth owns is considered a half-Bengal and is ok maybe Ti is just a half-Bengal too.:)
SAS, I am so glad you have found a home that you are happy with for Ti. I hope all goes well tommorow and he settles well into his new home. Good luck.
Ti, kisses and big hugs beautiful boy, be happy.
Bye Ti Ti!! I know that you will be very happy in you new furrever home. Maybe you could talk your new Meowmie into registering for PT so we can be kept up to date??
Boy oh boy, am I feeling guilty. I know I will go through with it, but if there was any way to back out, and not have half the world angry at me, I would. I just feel so darn awful moving the poor cat to another home. I know, he's just a cat. But he is my boy and I feel so guilty about not wanting him around here anymore.
I will do my share of crying tonight, that is for sure. I should print out a picture of Miley with the tubing hanging off her rear end, and that will be reminder enough, don't you think.
I know I am doing the right thing, and it's breaking my heart.
Ti's new Mom will have to join Pet Talk, that's all there is to it.
I am getting up bright and early tomorrow and have already prepared Ti's belongings and carrier. It will be a sad, but good day. I will let you guys know what happened when I return. I don't think I am going to take a camera, that way Beth, Ti's new mom, will have to join Pet Talk to let us all know how he's doing.
Later folks,
Sadly,
SAS
Oh Sallyanne I know Robyn will be able to understand your thoughts tonight so completely. I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. Life can be so hard!
I really do think that you should draw up a document that Ti's new mom must sign before taking possession of this very special boy. It could read sort of as follows......"I the undersigned will promptly join Pet Talk and promise to post at least weekly messages, complete with pictures."
(((hugs))) to you Sallyanne. You have already cried a bucketful of tears over your losses of Grammy and Gabe and this situation with Miley and Ti. I think once you get past this you might be able to finally put that Kleenex box way high up on a shelf somewhere.
I know it's going to be hard SAS but really, you are doing the right thing. Everybody will be happier once this move is done and over with. You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. As I said before, you did your best and if it were me, I would have given up a long time ago. You are a wonderful purrrrson SAS and I know that you and Ti love each other very much. As the saying goes, if you love something let it go. Once Ti gets settled into his new home I do hope that Beth will keep us updated.
Hugs to you and kisses to Ti. Travel safely.
luv
((Hugs)) for you, Sallyanne.
Yes, I know you love Ti and it is painful to give him up. A happy, relaxed, and healthy Miley will be your reward. And so will knowing you have found Ti a good home and that the rest of his life will be happy. So cuddle up with Miley and Juni Rose tonight and give Ti some special cuddles tomorrow morning. I believe everything will turn out for the best.
Sas,
One thing you never have to say in here is "I know, he's just a cat. But he is my boy and I feel so guilty about not wanting him around here anymore. "
Here @ pet talk we all know our cats are more then just cats. I wish you well on your journey tomorrow. Everything will work out & hats off to you for finding Ti a good home! I also agree that you should have his new mom sign up for pet talk. Have a safe drive!
I just got an email from Beth, with her sweet comments about Ti and how difficult it will be for me.
He will be fine, and I know that. Beth is expecting to have a go of the difficult times with the dogs, but we all know that often dogs and cats get along better than cats and cats!
So, off to bed with me. I will let Ti into the bedroom tonight, if he wants, and keep Miley in the computer room.
Off to CT with us, in the AM!
Bye, goodnight and thanks so much for your support on this mess!
Nite nite! Tomorrow is a new day....and Miley will be SO happy.
L,
SAS:D
Sas, I hope you check your PM's before you leave in the morning.
Good luck tomorrow and I hope to hear from you when you get back.:)
Sweet friend, I know tomorrow will be one of those bittersweet days for you. Something tells me that when you meet Beth and get a real good look at her, things will be ok and you will feel better.
Sallyanne, you have done everything possible to make this work. As much as I would have hated it, I would have rehomed Butter if his temper had been directed at anyone but me (especially Mimi and Helen). Thankfully, I was the only one he went off on, at least until Scott came around :o . And some people really thought I was foolish to consider keeping him when I did, but it was ok here. Your situation was NOT ok. You're doing the right thing. I think you know that, but it still hurts to let him go. If it didn't you wouldn't be the person we all know you to be! You know both sides of this thing, yours and Beth's after going through this with Robyn and Pam with Gabe last year.
Travel safely and give Ti a sweet kiss on his head for me, please. He's a "soulmate" of my Butter and I love him for it.
And tomorrow when you get home, pour yourself a celebratory glass of wine or open one of those "witches brews" I was so curious about and prop up your feet and love on your little girls. You will deserve it!
We love you and will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Right here, Filou is running like mad behind the bookshelves, meowing and hissing at Tigris who looks as if he can't understand a word.
This is friendly. But if ever one of my boys had acted in the way like Ti with Miley I would have known that I cannot keep both. It was impossible to keep Miley in constant panic of her life -and that was what she felt.
Me too, I am so sorry for Ti because I have seen him with Juni and on your computer and I know what a friendly boy he can be. And he has a place in your heart.
But under the existing circumstances you are doing the right thing. I send all my best thoughts for the situation this morning and I hope that when you see Ti's first steps in his new home, you get a feeling that he will be purrfectly ok.
{{{{{Hugs}}}}} for all of you.
It's sad that it came to this, but thank God it has a happy ending!! Good luck in your new forever home, Ti, and have fun! Sas, it must be such a relief that all of this has now been resolved!
Chin up, SAS!!! :D :D :D I said a little prayer for you and Ti this morning.
Logan
Safe travels today Sallyanne! I will be thinking of you and hoping that all goes smoothly. Please check in when you can.
Good Luck today SAS.
I know it will be hard to say goodbye to your boy, but focus on how happy Miley will be. And Ti is getting a pretty sweet deal himself! Beth sounds wonderful and he will have 3 new fur-siblings to torment and be tormented by :)
How did it go Sas?
Yes, how did everything go? Please let us know as soon as you can. All fingers and paws are crossed here for good luck. :)
Well, I am happy with Beth as Ti's new Mom.
He was great in the car, to the point where I actually let him out of the carrier and he sat in his favorite bed, on the seat next to me. He was good at Beth's house, sitting on my lap and letting me clip his nails (demo)....and then, all at once, he took off and crawled under her sofa! I had a bite to eat and gave Beth all the toys, etc. and left them to work it out. The 12 wk. old 1/2 Bengal kitten hissed at Ti when they met, but Ti was fine. The doggies didn't even notice Ti.
All is quiet here, that is for sure. The make shift screen door is down now and Miley will have the freedom of the house.
I am sad, but know that Ti had a really good shot at staying here, and he cooked his own goose. I think he will be fine in his new place and everyone will heal from the damage that was caused.
I am going to bed early tonight, after being on the road for 8 hours today.
Goodnight.
P. S.
I cried 3/4 of the way home. Yes, I am a big girl, with a soft heart.
SAS
A long, sad journey to be sure, but I do believe Ti will do just fine, thanks to the efforts you made. I wish so many other kitties had one fraction of the advocacy on their behalf as Ti did from you.
And you have your Miley girl to love and your Juni to raise. Camp Vermont can once again be a peaceful, happy place. Good work and rest well. You need never regret this decision.
I have tears for you and Ti right now, both happy and sad. And it truely is just like letting go of a foster.......NO...it is harder, because it was SUPPOSE to work out. A lot of the times, the right thing to do is the HARDEST.
extra HUGS to you.
Play hard sweet Ti, I know you will be loved and happy in your new home.
Sas,
What an emotional day for you. :( Filled with plenty of mixed
feelings, I'm sure. Ti will be very loved & cared for in his new home and with his personality, he'll find his place in the new home
just fine.:) It might help to remember that Ti was not a happy
camper at Camp Vermont either, so this fresh start for him could
be just what he needs too. Rest well and know you went that
extra mile and then some to make everyone happier. Best of
luck & good times ahead for Ti, Miley, Juni Rose and for you too.
You can rest well tonight knowing that you did what you had to do. There really was no choice. Did Beth give you any indication that she would keep in touch either with stories or pictures or both? I hope so. That would be really nice, just like Robyn was able to do with you when Gabe was a Camp Vermonter. What a nice feeling to have your house back to normal with no doors to shut and no worries. Enjoy your time with Miley and Juni tonight. I am sure the Big Bed will be crowded with lots of purring going on. :)
Yes, I am a big girl, with a soft heart.
Yep, we already knew that for sure! ;)
You're amazing...you literally went the extramile for Ti again and knowing that his new home is purrfect will hopefully make it easier for you to let go the sad memories of the past weeks...Quote:

It will surely take some time until your heart is healed, but it will!!!
Try to focus on Miley and Juni Rose, to whom you've given back a happy and content life...and Ti now will have a happy and content life, too!!!
You've done so well in this situation!!! Now take time to heal!!!
Wishing you all the best with your furkids
:) :) :)
What a day yesterday. I am also crying some tears - a mix of relief and sadness. I am so glad everything went well and Ti showed himself from his best side:) I could not even dare to clip Tigris' nails. Ti CAN be a real gentleman :D
I hope too that Beth will keep contact -at least she could mail you a picture from time to time- we would enjoy to see Ti with his new family:)
Tell us about Miley's reaction? I suppose that she is quite careful and that her little ears still move to catch signals. (ok -rather big Aby ears). :D And I hope you had tonight two sweet and happy kitties in your bed:)
I hope you are feeling recovered from your very long Saturday journey.
Sounds like Ti has settled straight into his new furrever home and he'll have plenty of siblings to chew on (jk). I hope his new mummy like give us a couple of updates, it would be great to SEE how he is getting on. (Photos Hint Hint)
So is the Vermount camp full of Happy Campers ?
Has Miley Girl noticed the complete lack of Ti, it must be a relief for her. Just her & Juni Rose safely together, with the free run of the house. :D
It's funny, when I was stacking all of Ti's things by the door, i.e. bed, scratching posts, bags of toys, it became obvious that there was something going on. I brought out the container from the corner of the porch and both Juni and Ti noticed. This was done days before the big moving day.
The night before Ti left, while he was on the porch, Miley decided to take a hike through the house. I was surprised but figured it was due to her being safe for so many days in a row, only hearing his yowling and not experiencing any attacks. I do think Miley was ready for the challenge again. She must miss having contact within the entire house.
Yesterday, when I packed up Ti and his worldly possession, I left all the doors open in the house, hoping that Miley would venture out with Juni. She did, they both met me at the door when I returned from the trip and both slept with me last night.....I woke up around 3 AM only to find Miley wandering around the house....ears flat.....hunkered down...waiting for the attack.
I suspect it will take a few days before Miley feels totally comfortable.
Juni is totally the same. Kittens are just so flexible! Since Juni was always jockeying back and forth between the two worlds here at Camp Vermont, she is familiar with Miley and her space. I really don't think she is going to miss Ti. That sounds funny, but the whole world is one big toy to Juni and she has lots of distractions.
It is so nice not to have to worry about doors being securely closed behind me. The screen door is down, I can walk through the entire house......the air conditioning now goes throughout the entire house and not in just half. It's nice.
Beth sent me an email card last night, thanking me for trusting her with such a prized commodody. She promised to keep in touch and since I have her address, phone #, email, I can always contact her.
I don't suspect much progress will be made in a day or two, unlike Gabe and Graemer's bonding within 48 hours. I hope to hear from her in a week, when I think Ti will finally figure out that I am not coming for him. Oh my, tears.
I am so happy I moved Ti yet sad that he had to go. It was for the best!
As soon as I charge my batteries, I will take a few photos of Juni and Miley, as they are hanging out together, all the time now! They are a true match in personalities.
L,
SAS
This is the happy news we have been waiting to hear! Mission accomplished Sallyanne!!!Quote:

Now, how about those pictures! :)
Big relief stone falling from my heart. Kissies, Scritchies, cuddles and hugs to Miley and sweet Juni:)
I just have to say it one more time. I am so relieved and happy for the peace and contentment that can prevail at Camp Vermont. Miley can regain her composure and Juni can grow and thrive as a sweet and playful companion and you will no longer have to worry.
Ti will be just fine. Hopefully he will no longer see his role as an Attack Cat and can move on to figure out how to fit into his new setting with his new housemates.
Since Ti is so out numbered, I think he will be fine. The kitten was indifferent for the most part and I think the dogs seemed indifferent as well, not scared, like Miley is/was.
I think the kitten will bond with Ti as soon as he emerges!
Beth seemed so relaxed with the situation and has a very calm disposition herself. I have a tendency to become overly protective, emotional, and goofy to the point of distraction. I suppose I have a type A personality. Ti is a type Z! :D :eek:
If I hear from Beth, I will let you all know.
By the way, I invited Beth to join Pet Talk. Not everyone likes to spend their spare time in forums, so I just don't know if she will show up here!
Thanks everyone!
SAS - boy is my house back to normal now!
I am glad Ti's move to his new home went well. Beth sounds like she will be an excellent new mommy for Ti. I hope he quickly bonds with her and his new fur family. We will always welcome news of him. I am glad Miley is exploring Camp Vermont again. I am sure she and Junie Rose will be happy together now. Looking forward to new pictures of the Aby Girls. :) Sallyanne you did great through all this, so have a take-it-easy day. :)
I'm so glad it went so well with Ti. It sounds like a good home for him. :)
I am glad to hear Ti`s move went well.:)
Hugs to all!
Chris
