Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2005Sorry - just venting (Was: adopting a stray)
Sometimes usenet just seems like a big canyon I can holler into in frustration.. I forget sometimes that there's folks inside getting hollered toward.. I'm not doing anything rash. I'd been awake for about 30 hours when I wrote that and was just pissed. Sorry if I've alarmed anyone.. =P BLink > Sometimes usenet just seems like a big canyon I can holler into in > frustration..

He is not just a stray you fostered and helped, you are really attached to him. (Partly why I cannot bring myself to foster-- yet.) I still think you should keep Henry. It is your love that makes him "different" from the millions of others. > In my heart of hearts I believe you love Henry and will not be happy > letting him go.

Sometimes a cat just does not work in a particular household. Should that cat or the other cats have to suffer just because the person loves him? I've dealt with a lot of people surrendering cats, and when applicable, I do urge them to keep their cats. I know it's a cliche, but sometimes love isn't enough. It has to be the right home for the cat, too. Yes, I do get attached to my fosters and I *still* love them, even though they aren't here. I did end up keeping one and I would love to keep my current foster. So far, no one's interested in her :( Those that are, get scared off by her condition.

I have followed Brian's stories about Henry from months ago when he first posted. I understand all of the above--that Brian's love for Henry is not "enough" to solve all the problems, particularly with the other cats. I understand why giving Henry away makes sense, logically. But I also believe that Brian will not be happy unless he finds a way to keep Henry. He loves him. > I have followed Brian's stories about Henry from months ago when he first > posted. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Brian > will not be happy unless he finds a way to keep Henry. He loves him. I also take in my fosters knowing that they are fosters, so that is a big difference. I feel awful for Brian, what a tough place to be in :( Signature-Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG > > I have followed Brian's stories about Henry from months ago when he first > > posted.

I'd just have to find a way to keep him. > Sometimes usenet just seems like a big canyon I can holler into in > frustration..

Sorry if I've alarmed anyone.. =P Hang in there, Brian! Your concern for Henry is touching, and I have a feeling a good solution can be found.
