Donna,

I think you are wonderful for taking in an older cat. I wish I could have another kitty for Bastet but sadly my living arrangements only allow for one.

That little boy seemed to love that cat - I wonder if his mum was using it as a form of peverse punishment. It seems to me his tears were genuine. I feel for him and the cat. The mum should learn what it feels like to be alone and abandoned. I wish you all the best. I am really glad that there are people like you (and everyone else for that matter) in the world.

Compassion for a creature is a wonderful thing to have.
