Looking after the mogs is tough at the moment, as finances are very
tight.

You may or may not remember that a little under 2 years ago, I fostered
a couple of very sick, very feral girl kittens, Mitzi and Mouse, who had
been dumped in some chip fat. They were very small, very traumatised,
and ended up in a *WONDERFUL* home, where they are loved, worshiped,
pampered and adored and they have trained their slaves well...

This afternoon, I was on the phone to a friend when out of the blue, my
front doorbell rang. Standing at the door was Mitzi & Mouses humans....
with 10 bags of cat litter. Apparently, where their human works is a
large engineering factory. The factory had ordered 2 pallets of cat
litter to soak up an oil spill, and had 1/2 a pallet of unused bags of
litter left over. They thought I might like some as I have several cats,
and they know I foster for Cats Protection sometimes so they dropped 10
bags around to "help out".

They had a cup of tea, and updated me on Mitzi and Mouse (who is now
called Molly) and who are now 2 years old! (I can't believe it's been
that long!!)

Mitzi and Molly have trained their humans very well, they are pampered
stupid, utterly adored, and it was great to catch up with my foster cats
& how they are doing.

Karma has bitten me in the a$$ again. ;o)

Oh wow, how nice to not only get the cat litter but to get news on the
kittens you helped rescue!  You certainly deserve the good Karma you're
getting, Helen!!

What a lovely post :-) it's great to know Mitzi and Mouse are doing well.
Wasn't it nice of their slaves to think of you, cat lovers are the best. :-)

Rather gently and sweetly, I must say!

What a happy ending for Mitzi and Molly. They ended up with wonderful
slaves. You're those kitties' angel!

I really do believe in Karma (or what goes around, come around) call it what
you wish.  You deserved this free cat litter, Helen.
It can work the other way too.  Call me bad if you like for saying Hooray,
but the manager at work who bullied me into a nervous breakdown after my
performance fell when my mother was found dead is now sick herself.
It couldn't have happened to a better person!
I love karma.

Schadenfreude (sp?) has its place. I'm sure she behaved the way she
did because of whatever bitterness she had, and whatever insight and
compassion she lacked. And those things can make a person sick, too.
So I don't think it's a coincidence. Maybe she'll learn something
from this.

I think not.  She's a bully.  An evil bully.   She cannot keep any staff for
long but she never changes.
She got into trouble for bullying me, I was taken away from her and am now
in a team that I am happy in.
Nothing has really been done to address her "management style" though.  Her
staff continue to leave in droves.
She should take a lesson from my present manager who is firm but kind and
very approachable.  We all work better with a kind manager, rather than a
scary moody bad-tempered one.
It's so counter-productive to scare your staff.

Helen, I *do* remember when you were fostering them. It is so great to
get updates on fosters. Do you remember Angel? I tried to contact her
owners not long ago and they moved with no forwarding address. Can't
track them down. I really hope they still have her and all is well. I
left *specific* instructions that if they ever had to get rid of her,
to bring her back to me. So I can only h ope I guess. But it bothers me
still. Those little critters get into your heart, don't they.

Roger that.  I'm so glad to read that Mitzi and Molly are doing so well,
and that their staff are treating them like the princesses they are.
Also glad that you got a great gift to help your clowder with.

What a lovely story!  Thanks for sharing.  *sniff*  How odd. I tear up
at happy stories, too.

I'd say it has "nipped you there rather lovingly" if you excuse the
image.

It's nice they thought of you, isn't it?
