He is so beautiful! And for some reason, around 12:30 last night, this thought went thru my head...you already have a Tigger, why not change Peter to Pooh Bear? Pooh Bears are orange...and laid back....the strangest things go thru your head in the middle of the night, don't they? Congratulations!!!!

Hehe I was also thinking about another name from Winnie the pooh! Im going to be picking a name after I spend more time with him

[catnapper]

What a truly handsome young man! Congratulations on your new kitty!

I like the name Peter... you could call him Purring Pete!

[catcrazylady]

I don't think it would be a bad idea to call. That would only show how much you want him and how excited you are. I don't knwo if you'll get an answer to your question but it sure won't hurt to ask!

I'm so excited for you that I'm about to bust! I hope all goes well when you get him home. He will be so scared for awhile but I'm sure with all the love your going to give him he will be fine in no time!!
Let us know as soon as you do!!

We might have to wait for 2 hours until my dad goes back on his bus-run, did I forget to mention that he doesn't know ANYTHING about this??

Not my idea, my mom said she would tell him in "her own way" , you probably guessed by now that he's not the easiest person to talk to and wouldn't listen.

But I just feel kind of scared, that he'll be back home when we walk in, but my mom doesn't want to tell him now and of course he'll say we're not getting anymore pets..etc..etc(what hes said before we got all of them ), and then my mom won't feel like going on out and getting him until my dad has reached the "ok whatever" point.

I hate waiting

[catcrazylady]

I would say that your mom knows how to handle your dad the best so I would just go along with what she says. I'm sure she has many years of experience with him and surely she wouldn't have let you go through this whole process if she didn't think she could convince your dad. Mom will work it out somehow I'm sure.
Keep us posted.

I guess your right Thanks

Its almost 11:30, so that means my dad is leaving in half an hour, and then I'll call and hopefully we'll be leaving after that.

[DogLover9501]

Im crying so much right now, I can hardly see to type!

I called and they told me that he doesn't like dogs at all so they can't put him in a home with dogs....

Why didn't it say that on Pet Finder?? Or why didn't they tell us when they asked what other pets we had??

[catcrazylady]

Ok, I know this is heartbreaking news for you but think about it this way, if he doesn't like dogs then he would not have been happy at your house. That would have upset you to see him scared all the time. Trust me when I say that you really don't want to deal with those issues if your dad is iffy anyway. What this means is there is another kitty somewhere who belongs with you and with your other animals. I know you had your heart set on Peter but it must not have been meant to be.
Don't stop looking and I promise you that one day when you are snuggling with just the right kitty that you will be thankful that it all worked out the way it did.
The right kitty is out there and unfortunately you will have to be just a little more patient. I'm sorry you won't be getting Peter but please don't give up, ok? There are so many shelter kitties that need you and the right one is just waiting to come live with you.
It will all work out for the best in the end. I PROMISE!! God has a way of doing that you know?

[cloverfdx]

Oh sweety i am SO sorry . They should have told you first thing. :angry:
I am speachless .

[DogLover9501]

Thanks again, Lisa!

I know that he wouldn't be happy with the dogs , I really do wish they would have told us before, instead of waiting and I had names and everything, I guess it's my fault though because I didn't wait. I just thought on Pet-Finder they always used these little things:

And there wasn't anythings like that by Peter's name

Ugh, I am going to keep looking, but from now on Im going to ask about dogs as my first question!!

Ack--Im always going to remember that guy

[jazzcat]

Robyn I'm so sorry. They should have the info about not liking dogs on Petfinder.

CCL is right, you will find the right kitty for you and your family. Just keep looking, there are so many out there who need a wonderful home like yours.

[catcrazylady]

It is a darn shame that they didn't let you know that upfront! They need a handslap for that since you got your hopes up. What a shame.
Start looking again and lets see some more pictures of possibilities.

[sirrahbed]

((((Robyn)))) I am so sorry about this disappointment - but CCL is exactly right in all her advice - I agree completely. Peter would have been very unhappy and that would have made you miserable Shame on Petfinders for not saying that upfront! BUT - a purrfect cat is still waiting for you! You will see

[catlady1945]

That's too bad - Peter is such a lovely boy. It would be nice if they had shared that info up front.

[carole]

Aww that is a real shame, and such a big disappointment for you, I know how you had your heart set on adopting Peter, let us all hope Peter finds a loving home and soon.

Don't despair too much over Peter though, as there are so many beautiful kitties just waiting for you to come and see them and choose, just be patient , the right kitty will come along.
