Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I can visit and/or telephone which is good but now beside being teary I'm beset by new worries. As normal she/he will be kept inside for the first two weeks but how will s/he feel when s/he gets to go outside. They live more or less in the middle of a field with a wood and some such all around, I doubt if s/he has seen such a space in all her/his life. My biggest worry is if s/he runs off or gets lost, s/he'll never be found.

My much lesser concern, because it should be solvable, is that s/he does have an owner after all and will be much missed. I know as long as they advertise the fact they will get their cat back but I would still have caused them heartache by letting s/he be taken.

I'm lost and sore of heart.
