SAS,

I have happy and sad tears flowing. It has been so hard on Miley and Ti has had every chance in the world. I'm thankful that Miley will now be able to begin the healing phase. What a strong, sweet, resilient girl she must be. From Gabe and Grammy Crackers to tyrant Ti... Please give her a big, big, big hug as soon as she is well enough.

You are handling this situation with the breeder far better/nicer than I would. (One of my pet peeves: people never coming through on their word.) I'm afraid, I'd have had some choice words for her when she told me "not today." But that won't remedy the situation.

You said, "Ti cooked his own goose," I fully believe that now it's time for the breeder to cook her's. I would most definitely write to the Association(s)... to ANYONE I could possibly think of... and warn them. In one way, I don't think she knows the extent of the situation... in another, I think she knows it fully well and doesn't want it back into her household. I guess we'll never really know.

SAS, you are an inspiration and delight to us all. What lengths you have gone to and what inner-strength you have... I'm amazed and warmed. You are one of the best catmom's out there.
