    Coda is HOME!!!!!!

    Everything went wonderfully!! We were early arriving at Ron's house to pick him up, but when we turned onto the street, I seen the vehicle he was traveling in with the wonderful Iowa plates on it! Ron and his sister greeted me at the door, then lead me down into the basement area where Coda was hiding under a bed. I called for him and didn't get a response, I called again as I got onto my knees to look under, still nothing. But when he seen that it was REALLY me.....he came a purrin'!! The 5½ hour drive home, he stayed on my lap, purring, kneeding, and sleeping! As I entered the house, Heidi was on top of the washer (her usual greeting spot) she seen him in my arms, reached her nose out for a sniff and gave only 1 hiss. Coda had no reaction to her at all! I took him to the bathroom to get him out of his harness she tried to follow but I shut the door on her. After removing his harness, I opened the door he imediately began to explore with Heidi just following and watching. No hissing, no growling! He is now under our bed with her watching silently and curiously. If a spat begins, I'm prepared to close him into our room and set up a litter box for her. I'll get some pics posted as soon as I can. And I'll probably make a new account since I'm no longer MissingCoda!! Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers they brought about a miricle for us!!!!

    P.S. Did any of you know that there is a little clothing store in Regina, Saskatchewan named CODA??? It was right next to the station we stopped at for gas on the way down to Oxbow!! I looked up at saw it, I cried! I felt that it was a good omen to look up and see my baby's name on the wall!

    How WONDERFUL!!! And he knew it was you and came out purring!

    And also how great that Heidi is just following him around...they may wind up best buds sooner than anyone thinks!

    WELCOME HOME, Coda! Maybe you and your new sister can do some running around and you can wear off some 'baby fat'!

    Hugs and kisses to your boy!

    Aww, I've been looking forward to seeing this thread. I am so glad he is finally home with you. And it's great that Heidi and him seem to be getting along so far. Having a cat that can't stand the other one is not fun. It is stressful. But it sounds like your house is stress free. Yipee!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    YAY a couple more pics!

    Finally got a couple pics with Coda and Heidi in frame together!!
    First one is jus Coda settling down for a nap on the couch.

    Enter Heidi! Sneaking up to check him out.

    Now circling around behind him.

    I TRIED to get the pic of her climbing silently up onto the back of the couch, but as soon as she got there, she walked very quickly out of frame. If you notice the lovely piece of purple material hanging of the scratching post, That was at one time my most expensive article of clothing I had ever owned! Now it's an extremely expensive cat blanket!! About a month ago, Heidi raided the closet and ATE a huge hole out of that lovely cashmere sweater!!! She now has an $80.00 blankie!!
    Missing Coda No More!! So glad he's with me again!

    My reply to this is, yes Dave is a WONDERFUL man! I've never had a man in my life that could compare to him! He loves cats! The cat loving men are too few and far between! He takes his kids out to the Humane Society on his weekends with them, he and the kids volunteer their time to give the shelter animals some attention. He has come home on more than 1 occasion and said how hard it was to walk out of their without a cat that they had played with. But this place is so small, and he knew Coda would be here eventually, so he had to resist the urge. He knew how torn up I was about having to leave Coda in Iowa to take the bus up here, and reassured me every time I would cry about it that Coda would get up here as soon as we could find a way! He just called home to let me know he would be a little late tonight, and HAD to know how the kitties were getting along.
    Missing Coda No More!! So glad he's with me again!
