Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008Purrs for a friend
I have mentioned my friend Matt who has asked to be rehoused because of his chronic epilepsy, which due to stress is out of control. At last count he managed to get the council to agree he might have priority becasue of his health problems and his landlady agreed to hold off turfing him out on the streets while they made their mind up. Not that it has been pleasant for the last week Matt has been staying with a friend sleeping on their sofa and only popping back for a change of clothes etc. But the week did what he wanted it to do i.e. unwound him. He got back yesterday and there was a letter waiting fior him... The local council have said he does not have a case for emergency rehousing on medical grounds. They are prepared to consider he has a priority case, which means he could get rehoused in 3-4 years! His consultant had told him and them that if he didn't get this sorted out it could potentially kill him so obviously they are hoping to keep their homeless register clear by having him die before they sort it out! He's appealing of course but his landlady is getting a bit nasty over this having agreed to hold off until it was sorted out she now wants him out. He won;t sleep rough he already has details of a number of friends with available sofa's including mine but that's not what he needs. So purrs for Matt and also for Tony who is in the same boat along with Fuzzbutt the cat whom the landlady has said will be PTS if they don't take him with them Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > So purrs for Matt and also for Tony who is in the same boat along with > Fuzzbutt the cat whom the landlady has said will be PTS if they don't > take him with them Purrs coming for everyone involved (both 2- and 4-legged). I am constantly amazed at how unreasonable and cruel some people can be.

God Bless (((HUG))) Kyla > Purrs and prayers coming from here as well... > It IS amazing how cruel some people can be...shame on them!!! > God Bless > (((HUG))) > Kyla You know what amazes me? I describe myself as "asocial", since I really don't much care to get to know people. I get along great with my family (my mom, my brother, my adult son, and my wife) and at times in my past I've had as many as two non-family friends at a time, but I don't care to associate with people in general and don't *like* people in general. Having to go out into crowded places often makes me physically ill. But even given that I don't like people, I will go out of my way to not hurt people and would rather not see people suffer. Even children, who I REALLY dislike. So how can "normal" people who supposedly care about things like friends and associates and social standing do the cruel, inhumane things that we hear about every day? > So how can "normal" people who supposedly care about things like friends > and associates and social standing do the cruel, inhumane things that we > hear about every day? It's called "beaurocracy"- they have rules and they follow them then they go home to their families etc and console themselves with the thought that whatever nasty decision they made today had to be made by the rules and they didn't make the rules... I mean it would cause WW3 if they rehoused Matt. Ideally he needs a 2 bedroomed flat so Tony can stay- in case he has a fit and there should be someone there but he could get by with a 1 bedroom he'll take a bedsitter if he has to- basically he needs to get out of where he is and he can't afford the private sector even with Tony's help (Matt doesn't earn much and Tony's job can be a case of one week he gets all the hours he can and the next he might get 5 hours all week ).

I'm sorry:( I have to take my 4 wheeled walker with me when/IF I go out..it's not motorized, so I push it, it has a leather seat and a back rest, and a basket I can either put on the front or underneeth the seat..I opt for that. I can just lift up the seat and put my coat or whatever in it. I also put a brrrrrin brrrrrring bicycle bell on it LOL...I have really bad knees, they feel like they're broken..
