The word is OK.
Deb, from the rescue, talked to the lady today. She is just an uninformed type of pet owner. I guess I should be more specific, uninformed cat owner. Most of her experience was with dogs, and there is no shame in that. You need to have your first cat sometime. She said she was just very surprised at Elfin yesterday because she did not think she wanted a KITTEN. But of course the kids did. She loves his personality (which I knew she would) and he will be a fine pet and member of the family. I can not be sure she won't declaw, but then you can NEVER be 100% sure because people will lie to get what they want. We will check on him regularly and we will hope she reads the info and makes the right decision. As for the man, he sure bought enough "stuff" at Petco yesterday, and asked all the right questions that a new cat owner should ask, so I know their hearts are in the right place.
SO
Have a good life Elfin. I am glad I had the priveledge to know you.
