I think Gabe needed a change

[Logan]

I don't know what to say, other than "thank you", Sallyanne. You are a true gem out there, and you have helped my dear friends, Pam and Robyn through a terrible time. And Gabe is happy, albeit stubborn, but he is in the right place. I know it and feel it. It seems very comparable to Butter coming to live with us. If Helen had been younger, it never would have worked. But he is here, and safe, and evil (but getting better). But the main thing is he wants to be here, and he is out of harm's way when he is here.

Thank you, Sallyanne. You have healed many of us by your lovely posts and actions where Gabe is concerned.

Logan et al, thanks so much for such kind words. (Gabe is here with me now, so I must say good things about him too!).... Gabe is giving this change his best effort.

I don't know exactly why I agreed to take on the Gabe problem, but I did. I had every intention of placing him in another home once he arrived here. I simply fell in love with him within a day. He was meant to be here, I can tell.

I think the Gabe story is one that makes everyone feel really good about people going to great lengths to be responsible with their pet. Robyn didn't want to just drop off the Gabe boy at a shelter, knowing that he would be difficult to place. And I did what felt right for me, and offered to bring him to Vermont to find a new home. Did I know he would stay? NOOOOO. I was never fond of long haired cats. Now I just love long haired cats! A true convert!

Everyone is happy at the end of this story!

AMEN TO THAT LOGAN! COULDN'T AGREE MORE!

And another AMEN. What cute, cute pictures. Gabe looks like he's truly happy. I'm so excited to see those babies together. Sas, you made a super decision to take on that gorgeous himmy. You got my admiration, BIG TIME!!!!!

Thanks for the new pics.

But, speaking of long hair, are you able to brush Gabe?

[sasvermont]

Yes, he tolerates it. He was shaved earlier in the summer, so his hair is not that long right now. I usually try to brush him when he is lounging on the sofa, next to me at night. He doesn't hate it but it isn't his favorite thing. He likes being petted though. I may just keep his hair short for awhile. We shall see how much trouble it is. I like having hair to brush on a cat. My other two are skin and bones and are not fun to brush or comb at all.

So glad to hear things are settling down and getting back to normal - and that Miley is at least starting to accept Gabe. Your two are so adorable and Gabe is so adorable that I'm glad it's working out that they can be friends even though they are so different. And that pose with Gabe under the porch bench looks just like my mom's cat. Maybe you can see why we call him the Cranker.

I don't want this story to end! Can't it just keep going on and on?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I'm with you Rachel. Please don't let the story end!!!

[sasvermont]

Ok, I will keep the story going. I shall take more pics this weekend and try to get all three in the poses! Right!

[Pam]

There she is----Sallyanne, my Hero! Isn't she great folks! This is a little "visual" of Robyn and me letting you know what you mean to us! LOL!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for being the wonderful person that you are and taking the risk to be-friend a kitty that was advertised as 'not exceptionally lovable' to say the least! I am so happy that this little furry boy has wound up with you, and I am proud to call you my friend!
P.S. That photo makes me itch! LOL!

[sasvermont]

I took this shot this morning, just moments ago. The weather has changed to very cool temperatures and the cats have re-actived! They love the cooler weather, for sure!

I will try to take make pictures this afternoon!

Good day to everyone!

[Pam]

HA! Looks like my Trevor and Andy when they 'go at it!' After one of their little wrestling matches I have lots of little tufts of hair to clean up. Hair tufts may be new to you with your sleek kitties. Hope your vacuum cleaner is in good working order! Waiting for more pics.....
