OMG, I'm finally online!
Hi Everyone!
Just a really short note to say that I'm finally online again! I've been here for over 3 weeks and signed up for my phone line and internet right away, but it took until yesterday for it all to be done. I think it's because we're living in such a small town 3 hours from Purrth. Anyway, our container of stuff arrived yesterday (also finally!) and I was up till midnight unpacking and organizing. I got around to the computer this morning and my broadband was up and running! Woo hoo! Poor Vino's still in jail, he's got 6 days left to go. I was able to visit him about 6 or 7 times in the first 2 weeks, which was good. His first week was not good because they kept moving him from one enclosure to another due to there being a shortage of spaces. One lady wasn't able to pick up her cats until 4 days later due to a family emergency. Once Vino got into his real enclosure he settled in quite well. Although I fail to understand his extreme fear of those 45 degree ramps! He can only get to the 2nd level because they put a chair in there for him. He can't get to the high level under the roof at all. Weirdo. It's not the feel of the metal on his paws because he will rest his front paws on it no problem. I think it's either the angle of the ramp, or the fact that it's quite narrow and he thinks he won't fit. I'm sure Helen Wheels posted about our visit to the quarantine place. I'm so glad she was able to take a day off work and come with me. Their visiting hours are extremely inconvenient, STRICTLY 1:30-3:30, Mon-Fri, no holidays and no exceptions :-( Fortunately the girls who work there all love Vino and give him cuddles every day. And I made friends with a British family who recently moved here too and they look in on Vino every time they visit their 2 cats. I can't wait till he gets out! It's really weird not having him around all the time. I keep seeing movements out of the corner of my eye and think it's him. And I'm still in the habit of creeping in the front door waving my purse to keep Vino from escaping! I also just want to say a great big huge *thank you* to Helen Wheels for her hospitality and company. It's lonely moving to a new country all by yourself and not even having your kitty around for company. But thanks to Helen and her crew of friendly cats, I felt a lot better about it. I will have to write an anecdote one time about Helen's morning and night-time feeding ritual and the circling of the sharks ;-) Ok, I really gotta go because I've got a million things to unpack and organize. There are 8364 messages unread, so I'll never catch up. I really missed this group, I hope everyone's doing well. Hugs and purrs to everyone :-) -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Nice to hear from you, Britta. I'm glad Vino has good company "on the
inside" so to speak, but I'm sure he'll be delighted to get out "on parole". =o) And I'm sure he'll be ecstatic to be with you full time, again, even though I'm sure he'll find his new home looks, smells and sounds strange. No matter, once you have him back, Australia's bound to feel more homelike, since no house can be a true home without a cat in it. Melissa |

Hi Everyone! Just a really short note to say that I'm finally online again! Hey Britta, welcome back to RPCA! Hope your move went well and that you'll be settled in soon. Only 6 days to go until the Tailless Wonder can come home! And what about Dennis? I know what you mean about seeing movement out of the corner of your eye and thinking it's Vino. That happened to me when I had to have my 21-year-old cat put down. Fortunately you don't have such a sad reason for it. But when you've had a cat in your life for years, it's hard to get out of the habit of looking for them, and even seeing them when they're not there. 8000+ messages??! Wow! I'm definitely one of the guilty ones there. Don't feel bad about skimming over them - you will never have time to read them all. I'll bet you're happy to finally be in OZ! Joyce |
