Our Cat

[lollardfish]

Friends,

Our cat, Puck, is one of the sweetest animals I've ever known. He's about 8 years old, declawed, healthy, and a strong 18 lbs.

I really don't like cats much. I've never been into the idea of caring for an animal whose idea of love is to avoid me and go his own separate way. I understand why there are cat people in the world and what they get out of such a pet, but I like furry pets that love me back. Puck does. He likes nothing better than to lay on you on the couch or the bed. He can cuddle for hours, get up and have a quick snack, and hurry back for more. I have never liked a cat the way I like Puck.

Alas, he's not adapting well to life with a baby. It's been 5 months now, and he's just not happy. He wants to be the baby - and he's not. We often don't have room for him on us because we're holding the baby. We are certainly not able to shower him with the love he deserves.

So this is a call for help, one very difficult to make, but ... do you want a cat? We love him far too much to give him to a stranger, but before we move to Chicago, we'd like to find him a loving home.

Does he get along with other cats. We have a cat (Boss).

Well, he always got on quite well with Josephine, although she didn't like him much. He always looks confused when she grumped at him. H

e wasn't thrilled when I briefly had another male cat in the house, but that cat was trying very hard to take over - spraying must everywhere. But I've never seen him, even with that other cat (known as Hobo Cat), start trouble.

So on the whole I'd say yes.

Are you interested? Would you like to come over and meet him? We'd be happy if he was in your home.

Tom is up to meeting him, but wont promise more. I have been trying to get a companion for Boss a while and your kitty has the qualifications that Tom wanted (fixed mostly). when would be a good time. Sundays would work best for us. My number (your beutiful wife may already have it) is six one two, six one eight five five oh too.

Thanks
Cari

I'll check with Shannon. Sunday is my first father's day, but in the afternoon maybe we'll be free? I'll ask her later.

Oh! I am so sorry, It didn't occur to me at all that it was fathers day.
Congrats!!!!
And Maybe next Sun instead?

(Please tell Shannon that I said happy very belated Mother's day too. I am slow these days apparently.)

No, Sunday's fine. Maybe early evening?

I'm really sorry you need to find him a new home.

We are too. It's a little heartbreaking. He's just the nicest guy, but really not happy.
