Ti will be fine on the porch...really
I have the porch closed off now, windows closed and the door does lock! Ti can survive on the porch.
I would love for someone to rescue me from this situation. As Pam said, who would want a cat like Ti? My problem is that I don't want Ti back, but still love him. I guess I am in the same place that Robyn was in..... It is so difficult.
I will call the other breeder tonight. I tried earlier and her line was busy.
I know Karen Pet Talk has someone who is interested but not in a situation to take Ti right now. I cannot hold on much longer. I feel so responsible yet so out of control of this situation and I am sinking quickly. I am also getting confused.
Right now Ti is being very sweet - Miley is out of the picture...but tomorrow is right around the corner.
I usually make a decision and stick with it....and live with it....which is what has gotten me in such trouble with Ti. I should have researched the breeder before I went to her.
Anyway, here's my plan now. I will try to reach the nice bengal breeder and see if she has any better ideas or homes. I will stick with the plan for Tuesday, unless I can come up with a better idea before then. You have to realize that the bad breeder does not really want Ti and would be happy not to have to take him back.
Any takers? Who wants a Bengal kitty? I will even throw in the scratching post, walking gear, food, toys, bed...... I will drop him off.... (nothing in Europe, my car does not float....)
Maybe I should have offered him up before now. I thought I did, but maybe I didn't do it so obviously.
No, I am not drinking, I am just confused right now. I do love Ti Ti but he has to go. Robyn has been there and done that....she knows how I feel, I am sure.

The nice breeder wants to place Ti
Well, I just got off the phone with the nice (retired) bengal breeder who lives in VT. She said NOT to give Ti back to the original breeder. I had emailed her (the nice breeder) earlier last week, and she didn't get back to me. She said she hasn't opened her email for days! She asked me to hang on, get tranquilizers from the vet for Ti and then she will contact current bengal owners and offer him out that way. That also means that I will have him around for a while longer. I will ask the vet tomorrow - if he will give me some cream amitripeline (sp) for his ear to keep him quiet until and while he is being placed.
I will call the not so great breeder tomorrow and cancel Ti's return to her. Everyone who said I was wrong for trying to return him, was right. What was I thinking? If you saw Miley at the vet's you would know that I have reached my limit and any way to get Ti out of here sounded good to me. Re-thinking it, Ti needs to go to a good home, one that I know will work for him.
I was so very frank with the nice breeder, insisting that Ti has to leave here....no room for movement on that issue. She said it is not uncommon for Bengals to hunt out/down weaker cats and try to harm them. She said the original breeder didn't do me any favors by giving me an aggressive cat with a cat like Miley. Oh well, I knew that.
So, Tuesday is off. It may take a couple of weeks to get him placed! Yikes.
