Well...I ***almost*** got a cat
There he was. He looked at me, I looked at him, and we shared a moment. His name is Leo (like one of my boys that just passed), and a gorgeous part Maine Coon. He's 8 months old, and is going to be a very large boy! The sheriff's dept had just brought him over, from another shelter, where he had been living since Sept. The volunteer, let me play with him, and he loved me! I told her I really liked him, but would have to bring my husband back, since he will share Leo's responsibilities with me. She was very nice and understood. When I got home, Tony was in the middle of some "man" project and couldn't leave. We went back about 5:30. He loved Leo too! But the volunteers had left at 5, and the Petsmart staff couldn't adopt him out to us. They say to come back at noon on Sunday, since that was when the volunteers would be back, and we could get him then. I couldn't sleep, I was so excited! I got up early, got my household chores done, ran to Target to get a new litter pan and some toys. We went back at 11:30. I felt like a child I was so excited. We could see the volunteers setting up. My heart was pounding. We went to see him, and....and....and....HE WAS GONE! I asked where he was. They told me someone came in about 10, and since they were there, they let the other people have him. I really was crushed. They were then pushing all sorts of cats on us. But I was too disappointed. And, Leo and I had shared a moment. Tony had even picked out a new name, Jeff (don't ask!). We left. I was crushed. Tony and my daughter dragged me to Save a pet. They have well over 100 cats, but, it wasn't the same. Or maybe it was my state of mind. Tony is blaming himself. I'm blaming myself..I should have just taken him. Tony has NEVER denied me anything. Maybe I wasn't ready. But mostly, I'm angry that we were told one thing, and we complied...and lost the cat. I keep telling myself, at least he has a new home. So...I'm back at square one. And this just wasn't meant to be. I don't want a cat...I don't want a cat. This just sucks. |

| OK Deb, you do want a cat, I can tell by the way you write. This is what you need to do.. Go to this Save a Pet place and find the ugliest cat there, one that no one else will want.Look at him pick him up and you will be hooked! The pussy cat will love you for ever and you will feel so much better. Leo just wasnt meant to be yours. Years ago we needed a cat as we lived in a flat that had mice. I chose a cat from a litter we called him Zorro the day we were to fetch him the owner ran over him in the drive. We werent meant to have that one definitely. What will be will be......x |

When you go out and buy cat supplies ...the phrase "I don't want a cat" no longer applies.   |

I absolutely agree, if I wasnt so sad for you about missing out on the cat I would have laughed "what, someone who doesnt want a cat" when you wrote about cat supplies. You will find the right cat soon. It took me 3 months to find my new boy, but its a love affair now.  |
