Hi Mark, Sleepy
I am thinking over the kitty cat.. He was a big lovely cat but incredibly stressed - he shares the room with lots of kittens and he doesn't like the kittens - there was a young woman with a toddler son looking at the kittens and the little boy was making such a fuss yelling with excitement, it stessed the cat out that I was looking at.
The poor cat kept trying to get out the door - he just wants to get away from the rescue centre poor thing. Just a cage all day and one short time out of it day after day, and you can hear all the poor dogs barking outside.
He did bit me and the woman staff member in the morning when we got him out of the cage, I think he was so stressed with the toddler yelling. I went back in the afternoon and just sat and talked to him and he got into my lap twice for a cuddle, then went back to the exit door - he just wants out of that place. The staff seem very nice and doing their best with not much money.
I am ;thinking I may give him a go - once he is home out of the shelter he should feel better - I think he needs a quiet home without kids, which is fine here, and he will need time to adjust to another place, so I won't expect much for a while after bringing him back here. The staff said people come in saying they will adopt an adult cat, then they see the kittens and they buy a kitten isntead, and the adult cats get left.
The poor animal honestly made me feel sad - he's just so unhappy being there. So anyway, they have put a temporary hold on him over the weekend for me so nobody buys him, and I said I would go back on Monday. I think I will take him on. He was just so unhappy there. I wonder what your daughter would say, Mark.
Sleepy I hope you are still feeling improved after your break away. How are things going with the flatmates etc?
I'm a bit weary after a long drive so I'm about to relax with a hot cuppa!
