    Sending you good thoughts and prayers! I know what it's like to deal with landlords who have no intention of being nice...*sigh*

    If there is ANYTHING I can do to help out on this adventure, please let me know.

    Thanks so much for the prayers and good wishes and all, Karen and MoFF and DJFyrewolf36.

    I feel so guilty leaving Poppy and Elmer out there.. they'll mostly be in a cage. And once again their world has gone topsy-turvy.

    I don't know what else to do, though. And I know they will be well cared for and loved and safe out there. I'm lucky that they have that space available to go to.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Pat- they could have stayed right there with you. To know that your cats are in a cage is terrible. To know that they are there for no real reason is worse.

    If the cats peeing on everything was the cause of the LL ire, ONE cat is too many.

    The cats should have stayed right where they were until there was a legitimate reason to re-home them.

    And, for all the people that will jump down my throat because I am being "mean"...THIS is one of two reasons that I left PT for all intents and purposes. Pets are not disposable.

    This has seriously bummed me out. Your poor PETS.

    She has not disposed of them! She is going in for major Sir Jury in a few days, and will be out of commission for an undetermined period of time! And the cats were all boarded while workmen came and replaced all the carpet - not something Pat had scheduled for! She still loves all 4 kitties, I promise! And hopes they can all be back together on the other side of all this upheaval, I know!

    Dear People Pleaser- having the ability to READ what has been posted confirms that she intends to GET RID of two cats for NO reason. (except the very late developing, "two cat max" reason).

    Quite a difference between boarding cats temporarily while carpet/workers in and out and getting RID of two cats.

    Animals cannot speak. They have no voice. To read on a "pet board" this type of thing is beyond comprehension. How terribly sad. I am not out to win a popularity contest, but I am sure not going to sit back and pretend this is OK.

    Stop with the Polly-anna nonsense.

    To all who have never been in the situation where you are alone and have no help close by; count your blessings. I well know the feelings of panic and even terror at the thought of not being able to take care of your dear pets. Right now, they are where they are being taken care of . The ideal situation would be they would be home with phesina but they are safe and the rest will work itself out after she is back on her feet. No one was trying to be heartless or cruel to them. They were trying to do what was best for all concerned. I would have to do something similar with my cats should I ever need to go into the hospital.
