Something else I didn't plan....part two

If you are wondering why Magilla is no longer in my siggy, it is because she now has a new meowmy, my sister . My sister lost her cat, Howie, last summer. He was eighteen years old. She has one other cat, Tully, who is seven. Sis came to visit me last month and fell totally in love with Magilla. Princess Perla has never accepted Magilla (whom i trapped as a feral kitten back in December) and was constantly bullying her. I think part of the problem was that Magilla never told Perla to knock it off or would not stand up for herself and this just fueled Perla's confidence in going after her even more. Magi was having to spend most of her time back in her safe room as I could not let her have the run of the house when I was not there to supervise the girls. I also need that room for fosters and to be able to bring in some of my other ferals if they need medical. So I knew I had to do something about finding Magilla a new family and then along came my sister. The transition has gone beautifully and Tully accepted Magilla immediately. My sister now has the lap cat she has always wanted as neither Tully or Howie are lap cats. I will miss her terribly, but she is happier now and deserves to live in peace. Especially after the hard start in life she has had. I have been very blessed in that all three kittens I trapped have wonderful loving furrever homes now.

So, now on to the next rescue/foster kitties who will need me. And there are always more. ...........

Oh that is GREAT news hun, and sounds like it is for the best for all involved. Plus this way you can visit and get constant updates!

Oh I'm so glad your sister got the cat of her dreams and you're an awesome person for doing what you do...

I'm so glad you'll get to see her lots

Thanks guys. I am feeling sad this morning missing Magilla and when I look at Perla I get so mad about the situation. But Perla is my little and she loves her meowmy very much. She is very particular about who she likes, people and animals alike. Typical little princess.

I just talked with my sister this morning and Tully and Magilla are running around playing now. Magilla is a very sweet gentle kitty and is very easy to love, and Tully is so happy and appreciative to have a new buddy. So that makes me very happy. and she is still part of my family

It is really great when things get right, even it is sad that you had to give Magilla away, she is still in family, so not really away, which is probably best outcome possible in situation

Aw, this is sweet and bitter at the same time. I am really happy you found a solution although your heart is aching. Magilla is so easy to love

It is funny how things seem to work out. Magilla is happie; obviously your sister is happy, Perla is happier, and although you are missing Magilla, you know she is being well cared for, and you can still visit her. I'm hoping your sister lives nearby and didn't have to travel too far to come visit you yesterday for the holiday.

I know she's still in the family and all of the wonderful reasons this is wonderful - but I'm so sorry for you, sweetie, I know how much you loved having your little shadow! Of course I'm really happy for Maggie and your sister (and Tully!), but it still hurts the heart to miss the little critters that always steal a piece of them....

I'm so sorry that you had to part with Magilla, Lauren, but I'm also happy that you were able to find a home for her where she won't be bullied: I'm sure that she's so much happier now that she doesn't have to live in fear. I wish I could find a home for Cassidy, so she wouuln't have to live in fear from Geronimo. But I digress...

I think it was meant to be! And you have the added reassurance in knowing that Magilla is in a good home, plus being able to get daily updates and visits whenever you can! It's all good!

Thanks my friends . I talk with my sis each day and Magilla and Tully are SOOOOOOO happy together. This is what Magilla deserves and the match couldn't be going any better . That makes me get over any selfish feelings of wanting her back and missing her. She is truly much happier in her new home. I was just a stepping stone and a "socialization" stone for her next stage in life. And, yes, she still is in my family and I will see her again.

I'm so sorry that you had to give Magilla to your sister. I know how much Magilla meant to you. But I'm very glad to hear that she and Tully have become friends, that she has your sister, and that she is very happy where she is now. I'm also glad that your sister is the 1 who took Magilla, so that she will still be a part of your life

Thanks for saying such nice things everyone. You are such great supporters and I feel like we are all one BIG happy cat family It's such a wonderful place to be!!!! :Magilla is taking great care of Tully, Magilla was always the caretaker of the boys in the house . (except for Princess Perla, of course). Magi is now grooming Tully ALOT. Tully has not had her faced groomed in almost a year since Howie died. What fabulous news this was to my ears today.

What a difficult thing to do. But it sounds like it was the selfless thing that was good for everyone, except, maybe, you. I admire your unselfishness.

I have a little black cat, Tonya, who still lives most of her life locked up in her safe room. She's been home 7 months now. Only Lily has really welcomed her, and treats her with respect. The others stalk her at times. Lily has taken up sleeping in the room every night. She never slept in there before. She must have decided that Tonya needs her. I just love Lily. I sleep in the room 2 nights a week. Tonya sleeps on the bed with me then,

It's a frustrating situation.Tonya doesn't stand up for herself. She growls a lot at the "monsters" and hides under the bed.

But I haven't given up hope. She comes out of the room more and more. But the progress is so slow that I sometimes wonder if we are making any.

But I haven't got a sister, so she's not going anywhere. If I could stand to part with her, that is.

Oh, that's just wonderful news! I'll bet knowing that Magilla is so much happier now makes the transition a lot more bearable!

When you go to visit Magilla again Lauren, I'll just bet she'll be giving you the biggest love rubs for making sure she'd have a happy life - in spite of the sorrow it caused you for having to give her up.

Oh that just made my heart melt! What a sweetie pie!

What a sweetheart She is a little nurse.
