    Sound like the perfect home for Spike! Congrats on finding him such a wonderful home. I hope everything works out well.

    RIP Sally

    Well, the other shoe dropped. (see update to Isis' thread in Cat General)

    One woman called to say she just missed her tuxedo who died. She said the cat was indoor/outdoor and never came back. She was crying on the phone, that's how bad she feels.

    The lady who was supposed to meet him today called. She said if I can find him another home before she can meet him, then so be it. But she will have 4 days off the end of next week in which she can spend with him. She wanted to know if she can wait till then. I told her find.

    I'm not sure if she's looking for an "out" or what.

    Anyway, my fur (and non-fur) family is still intact. *sigh*

    This lady who was crying on the phone - did she want to adopt Spike? Or did Spike remind her of her missing kitty and she was crying on your shoulder?

    I read about Isis. I wondered how Utchie was going to manage without her - but now his girlfriend's back!

    Catty1,

    The lady was crying because she was remembering her tuxedo kitty that went missing. She said "I'm ready to have an indoor only cat!" I told her a lady was comig to see him today and asked her if she wanted me to send her an application. I could hear the frustration in her voice, like she didn't want to wait.

    I'm sorry, but I don't trust anyone lately. I've seen the abuse that is happening. Maybe I'm a little too critical. I just want these guys to be safe in a loving home. I can't be there 24/7 to see that they don't let him out, or abuse them. So I have to use my gut instinct.

    Donna, you're not being too critical at all! Cats are living beings who deserve nothing but the best, most comfortable life possible filled with love and care. The only way to know for sure is to check all available resources for the potential owner. Always trust your gut instincts - 99 times out of a hundred you're going to be right.

    This is definitely a case of better safe than sorry, and while my own "gut" and I are not exactly on speaking terms at the moment, you should trust yours!
