Coda UPDATE

He is amazingly beautiful!!! There is nothing so lovely as a large Meezer. If I had to be seperated from my Ming, I would not be happy. So glad to hear you will soon be reunited!

Leaving him behind in Iowa was the toughest decision I've had to make. If I had known then that it would have been 9 months getting him here, I may not have came. Now that he'll be here, I will finally feel totally at home. He's the missing piece of the puzzle!! I am just glad that I stumbled upon PT! And unbelievably thankful to Karen for suggesting Craig's List. It's hard to believe that it was just over 2 weeks ago! If only I had found you all 9 months ago!! But I must believe that there was a reason that things had to happen as they did.

I am sitting here at 1:30 am, unable to sleep! Coda's journey begins in 13 hours. I have a plethora of emotions each fighting for control of my thoughts and actions. Right now anxiety seems to be winning the battle! I keep trying to think of anything that I might have forgotten. The guy driving my kitty up here, suprisingly doesn't have a cell phone, so I will have no updates of any kind until they arrive. That will probably be the WORST part for me to make it through!! By the time I have my kitty in my arms, I may be too exhausted! But I bet he and I sleep well together that first night!

I of course worry about the stress this my put my poor Coda through too. He's not a fan of strangers, and has always had me around when put through any kind of "you must meet this person" situations. He doesn't exactly enjoy car rides, again, I've always been there to comfort him when he HAD to go in the car (except for his trip to the vet the other day). Now suddenly he's going to be put into the full care of a total stranger and in a moving car for 2 days. I know it will be a relief and all make sense to him when he finally sees me. But until he does, l worry about him trying to make a break from the guy at a rest stop along the way. Which is why I've told the guy that Coda's harness and leash are to be kept on him for the full trip. Well, I suppose I SHOULD try to lay back down for a while. Thank you all for putting up with my babbling in this post.

I will definately update everyone after I get him home. Although it may not be the same night, he and I are going to be so exhausted we will probably just spend some quality time and get some sleep. IF we can that is! This apartment is so small and we can't keep the bedroom door closed all night (makes it downright FRIGID in there) so sleep that night may not be an option as Heidi will most likely insist on either getting to know him or telling him to get out of HER house. I could lock him into our very tiny bathroom, but that would cut down on the quality time.

lvpets2002, I have been reading alot of post today, while I was sitting here, Heidi came and jumped on my lap, she kept watching the monitor. While I was reading one of your post, she was staring at you St Patrick's kitty!! Next thing I knew, she actually tried getting on the desk to check him out! I'm hoping that by her actions of sheer curiosity toward a pic that she will be like he is. He is very quick to accept other cats, my mom had no troubles at all with him intigrating into her basement crew of (mostly elderly) kitties.

Here are a few pics of Heidi, she really is a wonderful cat, but she just isn't my boy! I've grown quite attached to her while I've been missing him.

I'm crying like an idiot! But my mother just called, Coda is now OFFICIALLY on his way! She said Ron (the guy driving him up) seemed like a very nice guy who was ok with all instructions given to him about the care of his precious cargo! I'm so excited!!!!! Now to get through the anxiety of the next 2 days!! I will not have any kind of email or even phone contact with him during travel which is really stressful for me! Now is the time for extra powerful prayers to start going out for Coda. I've been lighting candles for him and for others since I found the link for the candles. Thank you cassiesmom for lighting one for Coda the other day, I seen it, just hadn't gotten around to thanking you yet. Thank you all for your support and suggestions!!
