Well I finally made the move. Before Christmas we had spent about $2000.00
on our beloved cat with a urinary problem. He was back and forth to the vets
and finally having sampled blood in the urine and were told it was probably
a tumor we regretfully had him put to sleep. I cried for quite a while but
this afternoon I deceided I couldn't live without a cat. I went to the SPA
and adopted a 2 yr old tabby. When we got home though discovered he is quite
shy. Went to hide under one bed. Then another. We just let him roam around
so he can get used to the house. There is only my husband and myself here.
After not seeing him for about an hour we started looking around and found
him in our bed under the bed spread. We talked to him petted him. He came in
the kitchen, drank only water, used the litter box and back under the
covers, We've always loved lap cats who purr and can't wait to come to us.
Guess it will take a little time with this one. Any suggestions?
