ST, bless your heart!
I know how much it hurts to let go.
I have four cats and two dogs. I used to have five cats, but one learned how to open the door and escaped. My whole family cried over losing him.
Nothin silly about having feelings when you are letting go of a friend!
But Hey!
You still have visitation!
Hugs from Texas.

Dana, you are breaking my heart. Kitten sounds like my Snowball that I had to give up. Sorry, I have to leave and compose myself.

Sis:

I have the perfect solution. We have a cat (named Kitten; named by the previous owners, who threw her out), who is a completely indoor cat. She won’t sleep in a box at the foot of your bed: she’ll insist on sleeping with you, on the bed, in the crook of your knees. If you happen to have another human being in the bed with you, Kitten will insist on sleeping between you!

You take Kitten, and we’ll take Muffie, and she’ll be able to enjoy the outdoors in the Poconos.

Laurence Simon at IFOC has a tribute today to a big cat named Bruno we just lost at the Houston Zoo.

It seems cat-loving bloggers are a big group on the web!

Congrats on the new house! I know the feeling regarding pets; I moved from a 1070 sq. ft apartment to a 717 sq. ft. condo.

Both my boys are indoors. And the view here just SUCKS.

I don’t know. Would’ve liked to see ya try keeping her indoors first. Nothing says you can’t change your mind, though.

I’d take the cat inside, but then I’m a radical. Peace

ST, sorry to hear you can’t have your little darlin with you in the new place, but at least you know she has a good place to live and will be loved.

Congrats again on the new place! You’ll love it, there’s nothing like owning your own place. Might as well build equity instead of pay rent. Plus, it just feels so much more like home when it’s actually yours.

Hope your move goes well!

This would be a very tough decision to make, one I don’t know if I could make. I love my boyz so much that I don’t think I could do it. Muffie is such a beautiful cat. I am glad tho that she will be with your parents. – Lorica

ST, I had to find new homes for the cats I had. It still hurts. Anytime you want to talk, I’ll be there for you.

t’ll be tough folks get attached to pets but you’ll see her. As long as Muffle gots milk and play toys and people who care for her the kitty-cat will be allright ST. Congrats on the new house.
