UPDATE #3 Update #2 Update sigh (was Almost had a Ping-Brother (this would make cat #13))
DH's co-worker's daughter will take "Pong" - but they said he will likely be
renamed as "pong" sounds too much like 'bong" :P Bad thing is that they can't take him until July/August, when their daughter moves to her new apartment - she will be attending Purdue Univ. in West Lafayette, IN. They did offer to pay his vet bills until they take him - but that's not our main concern. Our concern a the few cats that we have that would like us to have few cats than we do. Speaking of vet bills, I need to go an get the dog some more of his meds & food, and make an appt for "Pong" to make sure he has no nasties & gets his required shots.

Am I imagining, or is he darker than Ping? -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. He's darker than Ping was when we got Ping, but Ping is MIUCH darker now. His flanks are almost as dark as his face/paws/tail. |

yodeled: DH's co-worker's daughter will take "Pong" - but they said he will likely be renamed as "pong" sounds too much like 'bong" :P That's a reason? Bad thing is that they can't take him until July/August, when their daughter moves to her new apartment - she will be attending Purdue Univ. in West Lafayette, IN. They did offer to pay his vet bills until they take him - but that's not our main concern. Our concern a the few cats that we have that would like us to have few cats than we do.

So Pong is staying where in the meantime? Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |

Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War He goes to the vet on Tuesday & gets checked for nasties & whatnot. Then he will be integrated into the household until he goes to his new home. The girl's parents would take him until them, but they have a couple of yappy-yorkies that terrorize the cats that they do have, and they feel that him staying in one place instead of being moved a couple of times would be better for him. |

LOL. It might be good for you to allow her parents to pay for the vet bills, not for the sake of the money itself, but so that they will be making a commitment to taking Pong. Otherwise, it's all too easy for them to just change their minds for one reason or another. They're a lot less likely to do that if they've plunked down some money for his care. Joyce |

LOL. My mind was not straight this morning (is it ever?). Yesterday I spent 10 hours straight babysitting a friend's needlework shop while she's out of town at a trade show. The line /should/ have read: Our concerne is the few of the cats that we do have that would like us to have fewer cats than there are.

Joyce You have a good point, but with the kind of money they have , I don't think that'll be an issue. They're good people and spoil their pets (as well as their kids) - and the daughter *does* want a cat! Threatened to take her mom's cat with her!It just doesn't matter to us if they pay it or not. |

Sounds like they have more sense than certain government entities who deal with foster children. Cantate |

That may be better in the long run but once he's integrated into the household for a few months it will be harder to let him go. You know that Jill |
