  • Inconvenienced a friend

    I asked Karen for help getting the stray cat I had been feeding sterilized and maybe a new home. Big mistake. That sweet lady picked up the trapped kitty today only to find out it will be two weeks before her vet can do it.  So kitty is in her bathroom!

    I researched our Humane Society, that would be an appt. and drive clear across our town. The Animal Defense League is no longer doing it, trapped cats you would have to take a course from the TNR people and be accepted, the city is no longer doing it.  Where did all that money go to the facility in the city for the program?

    I think our city needs to research the ordinance that allows cats to run at large, un sterilized. No sense me suggesting that to my Council person.

    So I must never feed a stray cat! Can't bring myself to go out and chase it.

    I have cried today over that kitty, that is strange for me. Perhaps all the bottled up tears over losing daughter inched in.  I miss her terribly and Sunday is fast approaching when I won't see her.

  • Letting go of those "touchstones" is very hard. Tears are the body's way of washing us from the inside out - no need to feel ashamed, just let them flow...

  • Thanks for your comment ,Bonnie . What about you ?

    • Lena I made this years ago and Xanga was selling life time and I paid it but have no way to get any help as they moved to Word Press. I only use some pictures here.
      Today I've spent time dumping photo's from my hard drive, trying to find other folders outside of PSP 18, see them there but not on the hard drive. ?? Had some teary moments when I came across some pictures. Bad night for back and got up without needing a pain pill. Then by dinner I had to have one. sigh.
      Yesterday I found two envelopes that contained letters and email from son. Haven't looked at them in 10 yrs. don't need them any more either.

  • @fauquet: Karen will take care of 'her' but I just didn't mean to add an extra burden on her. She lives not close to me and graciously picked up kitty in the trap as well.

  • This stray cat at Karen's house is not so bad, Bonnie .
    But I understand your worries and your pain.
    Love

  • CC I am just a sucker when it comes to cats. They have been in all of my life. None in house as a child though.

  • Tears do creep in on us, don't they, Bonnie? It is easier to forgo starting a relationship with a stray than it is to let go of the stray - it's rather like forgoing the occasion of temptation, I think.

    Thanks for posting, to let us know how you are doing - even when, how you are doing is tough.

    Hugs
