I have to give Jupiter back.... :(.... I am so sad!!

[popcornbird]

Me and Eric were talking to her on the porch and she was telling me about a four year old cat that she was thinking about getting... and Eric said.. why don't you just take Jupiter back... and she said REALLY?.. and I almost couldn't say yes but she started crying.

I can't believe Eric said that! Isn't he attached to Jupiter?

Sara, my heart has broken into a million piece after reading this thread. It really broke my heart.

I had never known Jupiter was your sister's. I thought she "gave" him to you, and that you were his mommy. I know that she and her family loves him very much, but she is your sister. She can always visit him and so can her kids. Jupiter can be their "cousin" kitty. He is still part of the family. I don't understand why you must break Tinky and Jupiter's hearts after they've gotten so attached to each other. I just don't think its fair. Its not Jupiter's fault that she couldn't keep him back then, and its not fair to Tinky OR Jupiter to lose their best friend for no reason. She is your sister and I believe you are very close. You can talk to her. Tell her how much you love her and tell her how welcome she is to come and see Jupiter at any time. I know that I can talk my brother out of anything, simply because he is my brother. He understands. I'm sure your sister will understand too. Tell her how much Jupiter and Tinky love each other and how hard it would be for them to seperate. Tell her that its not good for them to be away from each other, and could have a bad effect on their health. Its just not fair to either of them or to you either. You've had Jupiter far longer than your sister. He's your baby. I hope I'm not sounding mean. I just don't want Jupiter and Tinky's hearts to be broken. They grew up together. They love each other. You sister can always see Jupiter at your place. Please talk to her and try to convince her that getting another kitty will be a better option. Please talk to her. I understand that you don't want to upset your sister, but I hope Jupiter and Tinky won't have to go through such a painful change. Good luck and keep us updated!
