Hello Again, COTD May '09 Update

[Laura's Babies]

We have to do what is best for our babies, and sometimes it is giving them up. It sounds like it has improved everyones quality of life so you know you did the right thing.

You still have 4 so when you have time, come and post pictures of them and tell us what is going on with them.

I gave my Chester to the one he loved the most, the one HE choose to be his human and it was the best thing I ever did for him. He is so happy now and everyone loves him so much there. I get to see him when ever I go visit (which is often) and it took a long time for him to quit running to hide when he saw me because he thought I was going to take him away from his Rie Rie. Now he no longer runs and hides from me so I can still love on him and see him whenever I want!

Krazyaboutkatz,
Thank you for your reply. It is so nice to find people who've been through the same thing and who understand.
If it was only fighting, we may have continued to try things, but with the stress causing the discomfort of the cystitis for Tiger Lily, it just wasn't fair to keep trying because WE wanted to keep her with us.
I went through a lot of guilty feelings in my heart, even though my mind screamed at me that we did the right thing in re-homing Tiger Lily.

I do plan to post more regularly here now! Looking forward to becoming familiar with all the humans and kitties here!

Laura's Babies,
I wish Tiger Lily were close enough to visit. She traveled all the way to Massachusetts! She went to the same adoption center that took her two boy kittens in June of '08. I don't know if you saw the link I put in a post above, but there was a whole big story about how Tiger Lily and Piper came to be part of our household.
I'm glad things worked out for your Chester!

Don't encourage me on the picture thing, LOL! I'm a photo-taking-freak and can sometimes get carried away and when I have a good photo shoot in natural light with the kitties (or "the girls" as I call them), I have a hard time narrowing down just which pics to post and end up posting lots. (This is not the only cat forum I participate on).

But I am looking forward to sharing here and getting know the humans and kitties better!
