Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2005No more whining: Three Happy Cats
Dropped off Henry tonight. He was thrilled, zooming around the house with his tail up, finding all the little treats and surprises his new host prepared for him, "cheeking" the furniture. If that's the last time I see him, it will be a good memory. After the subsequent meltdown in the car, it occurred to me that this was different than other kitty goodbyes. "my god, he's still alive!". When a cat dies, the mourning keeps slamming you wave after wave, but I just got one big wave. Neat. Back home, Tiger and Louis are baffled, but thrilled. Louis keeps going up and downstairs, wondering where his arch-enemy has escaped to. Tiger's trotting around and stretching out everywhere. So you are all hereby spared from future rantings by me on this topic. I may even get some sleep tonight. Thanks Megan - BLink > After the subsequent meltdown in the car, it occurred to me that this was > different than other kitty goodbyes. "my god, he's still alive!". When a > cat dies, the mourning keeps slamming you wave after wave, but I just got > one big wave. Neat. I remember when I found out that Eros had been adopted. I was crying, and I honestly couldn't tell if it was because I was happy for him or sad that I'd never see him again. Maybe I was just crying because all of the stress and worry was finally over (although I still think about him and worry; at least you did see Henry's new owners and got a good vibe, plus references).

Did they say they would keep in touch with you? Candace ><<Dropped off Henry tonight.

It's sorta like the breakup of a teenage romance... how much do you want to keep in touch with the old flame? Staying in touch means fanning the old flames, not only for you but for their new love. I'm content to let Megan be the intermediary. I'd love to hear about Henry's development, to get pics n so forth, but I understand if they're jealous of their privacy. This just feels so right to me right now that I trust Megan to keep me informed of the process. As I mentioned before, she is a control freak and a bit of a perfectionist, so I anticipate she'll be happy to let me know of continuing new reasons why her judgement was correct in this case =) (Megan, I'm ribbing you... I'm so grateful for what you've done, both for me and Henry's new host) BLink > ><<Dropped off Henry tonight.

Now I ask you, people, what more do you want? Are you a Republican? Just curious.. cuz you use the same hallucinogenic thought processes that they seem to. "Up is down" "Black is white" "If I hear it enough, it must be true" BLink >>> ><<Dropped off Henry tonight.

I've shown my political bias and come dangerously close to instituting the flame-wars I battle in in other groups into this group. We love cats. It's a relief to have something in common with a newsgroup. If you want to talk politics just email me. Perhaps Red-Staters and Blue-Staters can come together over cats. What a wonderful thing that would be. Frankly, cats don't give a rat's-a.s about our feeling on supply-side economics. They just want their damn treat, thank you very much.

Well, this prediction turned out to be false - especially since there was never any guilt there in the first place. I guess I won't be asking you for lottery numbers. BLink > Hm.

Glad to see you're feeling better. You were losing it last night. <snip> > Are you a Republican? Probably, but she's *definitely* a troll. And the sooner you killfile her, the sooner you will extricate yourself from this continuous BS. -L. > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -L. Oh, blow it out your flabby socialist a.s, Lynnie. A troll is clearly anyone who doed not kiss that a.s, in your book. Most of your posts to this group over the last month have had to do with abortion and religion. Who's the troll? lol > This is a touchy situation, so I've set no expectations about that. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Henry's development, to get pics n so forth, but I understand if > they're jealous of their privacy. <snip> I'm glad it worked out this way - it is a win:win. I don't think you will be sorry. -L. > Dropped off Henry tonight.
