I'm shocked by what my friend said to me...

I've decided that no one is going anywhere (Thanks Taz Zoe). I've had every single one of my furbabies since they were kittens. They're bonded to each other. It broke my heart when I rehomed Carly the Curly Girl while in Michigan.

The problem IS baby. I didn't have this kind of stress or peeing problem till this opportunistic 6itch took advantage of me. She KNEW damn well she wasn't going to him back. I have no idea where she is. She will NOT return my calls.

I got in touch with the Westport Humane Society and they will probably have a spot for him by the end of this week or next.

I feel like I've aged 10 years in the last 2 months. *sigh*

Sallyanne,

I have a new sign on my fridge. It's a cat with a circle and line through it. It says it all!!

[Taz_Zoee]

Whew! I didn't think you'd let any of them go. You scared me for a second.

Well, I hope you can get the Baby/Buddy thing worked out and things can settle down and be back to normal for you.

Donna, I know when I'm stressed out and worried (more often than not), I take people's opinions more sensitively. I agree though, how could you possibly chose who stays, who goes. Obviously, Dr Bob doesn't have pets.

Just stick to your decision not to open your home right now.
Believe me, I want another dog so badly. But with my finances and health, it wouldn't be fair to anyone. I'm lucky Mz Logan is relatively healthy. It is what it is. It's all good.

Chin up girlfriend. I think I see a rainbow shaping up.

(psst...offer Dr. Bob a kitty! Like, the next one that falls into your life! )

There is the great slogan from the Harley Davidson t-shirts - it's about why people ride a HD......If I have to explain it to you, you would not understand.

There are people, as well meaning as they are, that will tell you to so something that they see has an easy solution to a problem.

You put aside your own comfort for your pets.

He might not understand..

My jerkwad ex-friend was the same way when I told him I took a cat in.
He didn't understand so I didn't bother.

Next time stock up on mac and cheese, Ramen and some crackers.

The most nourishment come from animals- pets feed the soul.

Sweetheart, you made the only decision that you could make. Knowing your bunch like I do, I don't think any one one of them could adjust to a sudden new home.(I know Mollie Rose would be devastated.) Dr. Bob talks like he wants you to get rid of some furniture, not living things with emotions. I know you can take care of Buddy's problem, too. Big {{{{HUGS}}}} to you and your beautiful cat family!

Donna, everyone who knows me also knows one of my beliefs is "People first". Take care of Donna. You know that if you were to rehome any of your furkids, you would feel even worse. However, you've chosen the wise course of action of not taking in any more, at least for a while. Life changes and we have to change w/it, so right now it isn't feasible to take in any more cats but later on circumstances could and most likely will change for the better and you may be able to help other cats then. As Richard said "Pets feed the soul". Tonight, at the end of your busy day, take a few minutes to take inventory ie. count your blessings. When I was having the worst financial struggles of my life, I had to get back to basics and tell myself "You're warm and dry, you're fed, you have a place to lay your head. Your cats are safe and so are you. Life is good." A special candle will burn tonight for our dear friend Donna.
