Sirrahsim and Boomer

[Craftlady]

Boomer is a big boy
Looks like he is having fun exploring the room and looking outside.
He will do just fine with introductions to your gang.
I'm having flight watch withdrawal today. LOL

Boomer is looking so darn relaxed after his big adventure. I know Missy is thrilled and crying from relief. I just wish I could have been here for the whole thing but I was here for the BEST part and that is what counts! I love that picture of you holing him, that is a picture that really warms my heart!

Yay I'm so happy that my sweet Boomer boy is adjusting well
It's funny about the lightswitch! he has never seen a light switch like that!! The switches here are all flat against the wall. I wonder what other things are common in the states that he has never seen?? Persianmom pointed out that the vents for the a/c and heater are on the floor in my parents home!! Here they are on the ceiling.
Oh what fun for Boomer to explore and see all of the new and strange things

In newer homes or apartments the vents are up in the ceiling. Older homes (like ours) they are on the floor.

Couldn’t wait to come home to find out how Boomer was doing.
He looks fantastic for all he’s been thru and really seems to enjoy his window view.
As good natured as he is I don’t think you have any problems introducing him to the other cats. He is a very lucky Kitty.

What wonderful uppydates!!! He's doing amazingly well...that's so great!

Kisses to sweet Boomer.

Boomer you look great little buddy!! What a looker you are! So glad to see that you're doing well and things are running smoothly there at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We think you and the sirrah kitties will all love each other Big Boomer. The sirrah family must all be breathing a giant sigh of relief everytime they think about what has just happened. "Project Boomer" is sucha cute name. We love it!

Phew, finally finished reading all the posts.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! What an adventure. Talk about mixed emotions. Sad at the thought of Boomer having to be re-homed. Happy that Missy realized that she just couldn't part with her sweet boy. In awe over all the PTer's willing to help get Boomer to grandmeowmie & grandpaws house. Tremendous worry on how well Boomer would handle the l o n g flight. The excitement of following the flight. Then the tears of happiness that Boomer had arrived safely in the United States.

I can't express more on how happy I am to hear how well Boomer is doing in such a short time.
Thank you Debbie for all the great pictures and updating us on this precious boy.

He's starting to look like he's always lived there, you're lucky that he's so adaptable, some cats are nervous wrecks for weeks after a big move.

I'm sure the common thread joining all of us was that we could imagine Boomer being OUR pet, the anxiety we would have if we thought we might have to give him up. Then the guarded hope that his journey might be possible, getting all the details ironed out, getting him ready for his LONG trip, hoping all would be well, then finally letting him go.

It was exciting yet difficult to watch the progress of the plane, wondering how Boomer was, all cooped up in his cage, hoping he wasn't cold or hungry or scared. The waiting was the worst part.

Then when he finally landed in OH, the joy of seeing his big eyes looking out through the kennel, knowing he had safely arrived and was on his way home!

Then when he was finally HOME, safe in a warm place, with cozy places to hide, yummy food and fresh water, a nice soft bed and perch to sit on, and the best of all, loving grandpurrents to take care of him!

That's all I could think of, that one of my babies could be Boomer; that's why I couldn't stay away from PT and all of you!

Now Boomer can relax and go back to being a cat again! (and I can stop tearing up and worrying!!!)

Well, I couldn't have said it better!!

I guess that's why we're all here, right?

Another PT miracle!!! Boomer looks like he's going to do just fine in a new home, and country. I'm soooo happy Missy's ad wasn't responded to in Japan, and that Boomer has his extended family to continue loving him. (((HUGS)) to all who made this possible, and (((HUGS))) to Boomer's entire family for assuring he's got a forever home! I can't wait for pictures of Missys, Tylers and Grams arrival at the Sirrah home...oh what a reunion that will be.

[catnapper]

Oh guys... I just saw that he's home! I've been so terribly busy with everything and completely missed this!!!! I am so so so so happy to see his travels are over and that he's adjustng to life in the United States! Yahooo Boomer!

Boomer meets the Sirrahkitties

Lots of pictures of Boomer - thought I had better start posting them in Cat General but also want anyone who has been following him to come check on him. Thank you so much!!

I think I just missed Missy - it is 1am in Japan, but I did update her in a PM. She has not yet seen pictures but will check in the morning I am sure. I hope you enjoy them Missy - don't worry because he really is doing well!

orangemn and Lorraine - your posts above sum up PERFECTLY how I am feeling as well. I really appreciate your thought. Thanks to all of you!

Next....get Missy, Tyler and Carol home
