Tiger Kitty's checkup

[Medusa]

Awwwww, that is sad. Maybe your Vet could put you in touch with another FIP kitty who needs a home and would be a good match with TK. That would
be a win-win for both of them.

I thought about that and I would do in the best interests of TK but I sure would cry and miss him. He's such a little lovebug. To think that I thought he was a feral, snaggle toothed ol' tomcat and he turned out to be a sweet, submissive purr machine.

Last night I let him in as usual after the rest are downstairs in bed. He bolted through the door, meowing as if he were calling someone. There were no kitties except Gracie and she steers clear of him, so I feel safe about that. After a while, he wanted to go back out into the garage, poor boy.

Today I showed him the kitty door and I tried to teach him how to use it but he wasn't having any of it. So I left the entire door open and kept calling him, so he finally verrrrry slowly stepped outside. He walked into his shelter and really examined it. So I walked several feet away to feed the birds and I didn't see him so I thought he was out and about. Nope. He went back into the garage. I guess he feels safe in there now. I just don't want him to be miserable b/c my garage isn't heated or air conditioned. When the weather gets really warm, the garage is like an oven. Surely he'll want to go outside then. I hope.

Sorry Mary, but I didn't mean for you to give him up, I meant for the Vet to help you find another ( with the same condition) to join him in his garage apartment.

Oh, I see. Well, that isn't a bad idea. I'll have to chew on that one. Having just recently adopted Gracie, too, I'm afraid it'll put a real cramp in my finances to have another cat to feed and vet. I still have $25,000.00 to go yet before my surgery bill is paid off. Ack!
