I was as surprised by hubby's response as anyone else. I knew there may be some hope but that it was going to take as much as a year and I didn't think hubby would hold out. I'm still not convinced that Magoo will ever really socialize with the other kitties but with time and pt prayers a miracle just may happen. The conditons at the shelter for Magoo were more than hubby could bear and he knows as well as I do that he will be hard to adopt out and he would just fade away at the shelter.
I have been discouraged and aggravated with the way things have been going but I guess deep down I didn't feel like hubby was going to tolerate this whole mess for as long as it may take. I do push him to the limits at times with all the cat issues! Even though I don't do well with taking no for an answer I do occasionally listen to his input since he does live there to!! I'm so headstrong and passionate about animals that I do things with or without his backing a lot of times.
He truly is an old softy and maybe it is good that Magoo bit me and hubby had to become the main caregiver. They certainly bonded!! Like I said before, I don't think that this is a great life for magoo but it beats the shelter and maybe someday his future will be better and he can free roam. Even if he has to be caged during the day for the rest of his life but can be free in the evenings I will be very happy.
Keep praying everyone! At least I don't feel a time pressure anymore! We still have some tough days ahead but maybe, just maybe......
