Kelly, what wonderful news! Gosh I was glad to read your update this morning. Sometimes stress can cause people to say things they don't really mean and I think that David's and your "stress-o-meters" have probably been pegged lately! :) I think Robyn made a good point regarding Gabe. Successful re-homing can happen and you might still be able to keep in touch with your kitties' new owners such as she was able to do with Sallyanne. Remember Sallyanne's Bengal, TiTi? Well she gets updates from his new human every now and then. In fact just today she e-mailed me an update. Sometimes re-homing is the best thing although seems very painful at the time. ((((hugs)))) Fingers, paws and claws crossed for the bestest forever homes for your two.

I'm just now reading this thread, and boy was I relieved to see that things are now going better!
Trust me, I do know exactly how you and David have been feeling! Like Jen, I have had plenty of times when I was overwhelmed and thinking I'm going to have to find homes for ALL but one of my cats. Then I say, but I can't give up so and so, or so and so, or, or, or..... and before I know it, they are all staying, and I'm so grateful I didn't give ANY of them up!!!! :D
Yes, there are times when I say, I wish my house didn't smell like a litter box .... I wish there wasn't always hair and litter trails, and such all over the place. But then I imagine an immaculate home with NO KITTIES!!!????? :confused: What kind of life would that be????? I would be totally lost without my kitties .... they bring me so much joy, and THEY are my purpose for living each and every day!
Fortunately, my hubby loves them just as I do ... and he generally own stresses when I do .... then we both get back on track together!
Hang in there, we all understand and love you!!!
((((HUGS)))));)

Have never had more than 2 cats at one time, so I can't offer any advice.
I'll just pray that if you re-home any it will be to the right home.
