my predicament...re kitties...help ...

[carole]

I went over to see Dianne but she was asleep, she works nights, so i talked to her son briefly, just saying i had a problem that the kitties had moved in, he said yes mum thought that, i kept it light hearted and joking, saying i had not pinched them honestly,so will have to wait until i see her i guess, Kari is right one step at a time and I just have to not get all worked up about it all until i know for sure what is what.

I am not sure i want the responsiblity of four cats either, i always dreamed of owning at least one more ,but sense always kicked in and i knew it was best not to do that, but i was not prepared for this situation to arise, the girls are just so darn happy here, it breaks my heart to think of them back with Dianne, they get so little attention from her, and here they get cuddles and pats heaps of times a day, as I purposely go out to see them and when i hang the washing out, which is never ending in my household of course they get more attention, I really don't blame them for staying, they are not stupid.

Even if Dianne did let me have them, re-homing them elsewhere just would not be possible , i dont know anyone who would want two cats that are not house-trained or that come indoors at all, not a good option, if she does want to give them up, they will have to stay with me.

Right i will try not to worry myself sick with all this, as what will be will be won't it, nothing i do will change the outcome really in the long run.

Your quandary reminded me of the Serenity Prayer that someone once gave me when I needed it so now I pass it to you:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


You already had the courage to change things for the better for these cats even though they weren't yours. I suspect, that although it may be difficult, you'll know the right thing to do when the time comes. If you can't change things, you won't. If you can change things, you will. Trust yourself.
