[Felvtalk] Hemy has a home

[dlgegg at windstream.net]

It was the same with my Annie.  When her owner who was in hospice learned that they had found her a good home, she passed the next day.  She knew her baby was safe so she could go.  If I di not have a safe haven for my babies to go to, I guess I wuld just have to NOT die.  If I did not know thy would be secure and safe, I would not rest in peace.  I think I would be like Annie's owner was.  If you cannot find her a good home, put her to sleep.  Any port in a storm is not a good port, it has to be safe and secure.

I would get my upper body in the pen and we would have a ‘love fest’ of petting, purring, head-butting and cuddling.  Clearly: not a feral cat.  So I left the pen door open yesterday.  She sniffed all around the yard, circled several times, returned to the pen to eat and sleep in her favorite bed.  I called FF about finding her a home, but I think this is her home, and I’m her person.  I love this little cat.  I suspect she has some health issues, but I’m delighted to give her a home and in return have her friendship.

I visited her the evening before and she said then the same thing she said every time I saw her:  “I’m so GLAD you have the cats.”  Then she’d ask about them and I’d tell her how each one was doing and how wonderful they are.  It was obviously important to her that her animals were being cared for, and I think the fact that it was me (‘in the family’ and a known cat lover) helped.   I’m happy that my taking her cats made her happy and gave her a little peace in her time of transition.
