Hi y'all
I just had to share this happy day.
As some of you might know, my mother lost her beloved cat about a month ago. She's been prevaricating about at new cat - didn't want to feel she was 'betraying' the memory of Maciek. Well - I've been telling her that she's got so much love to give to a cat that a rescue pet would be perfect.
Also as some you might know, I'm actively involved in my local Cats Protection, handling their marketing on a voluntary basis.
Well, one of my projects is to design and distribute lists of cats for rehoming to our local vets. One cat caught my eye.
Tiny is an 8 yr old long-haired tortie and white girl who is rather nervous and is looking for somebody to live with who has no kids, no other pets and is at home a lot. Well - that's my Mum. She's retired and is looking for a companion to lavish love on.
Tiny (now renamed Tanya), was collected today by myself and my Mum. She is (apart from my cats - and I'm a little biased here . . .), the most gorgeous cat I've ever clapped eyes on. Even her fosterer cried when we basketed her up.
We got her back to my mother's house, and she just went through the place like wildfire sniffing EVERYTHING.
I called tonight, and she's been lounging on the sofa and on my brother's bed (he lives there part-time) with my brother!
So much for nervous - he's a 6 foot 4 inch LOUD bloke!!
I'm so happy my Mum's has found another soul-mate in this kitty, even though it's early days I think it will work out. Maciek was her first cat (albeit a stray) and she was devoted to him.
So all in all a good day. Even despite the ever increasing arguements at home (aparently, I lost my job on PURPOSE to add further pressure onto my husband). Reckon that if you will.
And now to bed.
