thanks catty, doesn't matter now.

new for you (old for me) updatty I thought I'd share in case some of you're wondering: about almost two ..wow - two months ago when started this misery, I emailed her again and were telling her about and if she'd still like having gus and chance. a little background back then, they were hoping to get two of mine when I was thinking uncomfortably to have this number of cats before moving to east (here) and to focus, continue my education, and never ended up giving out two because I couldn't! two weeks later, I got this email back from her -

Wow!! Long time no hear from! I hope you're doing well and enjoying life on the other side of the country!!

I would have loved to have taken Gus and Chance before you moved but understand that you did not want me to take a sick kitty. Unforunately, we have adopted a dog AND a cat since you left. Both needed serious rescuing and are doing fine and getting along great in their new family. It was really hard to get George to agree to adopting them but I think he's glad we did. We love them both a lot. The dog is a German Shepard named Maya and the cat is a black and white long hair named Romeo.

(sick kitty = chance & george = her hubby). last august, chance was very sick with inflammatory bowel disease, (see here - I & II if you wish). I never wanted to 'spread his love' to somebody else before I could take care of him and be sure he'll be okay. now, victory they saved two other lives too! actually four, two spaces in a shelter.

now that I lost two of my preciouskids (avalanche & miles) after thinking more on this .. looks like this doesn't matter anymore! they're all mine for good.. I don't think 11 would hurt for 1 meowmie?

deep happy sigh, no more misery? thanks everyone.
