I Feel Like Such A Failure Update 9-15-13

[Scooter's Mom]

I don't post often but wanted to pop in and say how much I admire you. You are such a responsible pet caretaker. I agree with Karen - you can try to ease your mind and maybe think of these guys as long term foster kitties. Many cyber hugs to you. ((hugs)) Also, pets to your little ones.

Thanks Crystal.

Well today their foster mom came over and I ended up returning only 5 of my cats back to her. I know it was supposed to be 6 cats but even though Summer was the last cat that I adopted, we've formed a great bond. She was the one that came to me with fleas and then had to go on pred for a while to help stop her itching. Now she feels great and her bald spots are all gone.

Today was very sad especially when Reece and Rory put up such a fight trying to stay with me. They didn't want to be put into their carriers and I have the scratches to prove it. Later Finnegan seemed to be searching for the other cats. It was so sad to watch this. Even though it still hurts a lot, I know I made the right decision. Their foster mom will continue to keep me updated about them. I still feel so bad for even adopting this many cats in the first place. It will take some time for both me and the other cats to adjust and feel normal again. Thanks again for all of the emotional support.

Aww, we'll be thinking of you! It is nice that their foster mom has agreed to keep you updated! They are such handsome kitties, I bet someone or several someones will fall in love with them quickly!

It's good that she'll keep you updated, and at least you know they are in wonderful, loving hands.

Just catching up. I am in tears for all, the kitties who moved, the kitties who stayed, and YOU, Tracey. Yes, it will take a bit of time to adjust to the new family. Sending cyber hugs your way.

Thanks everyone. Today has been much better. Now feeding time is much easier and calmer and litter box cleaning is also much faster and easier. Finnegan has been a real lovebug today and last night several of my cats were also very lovey. They know that I need them right now. Colby and Finnegan have been running and playing a lot together like they used to which is great to see. Blaze was also able to sit in my lap which he's been unable to do for quite a while because Levi was such a lap hog. We'll all be fine. Now I know that I'll be able to take care of the remaining 8 cats so this is a huge relief. The foster mom has already sent me a few e-mails mainly to see how I was. She said the cats are upset right now but they should begin to settle down in a few days. I sure hope so.
