The Move is ON!
The people buying my house got the mortgage so apparently I'm actually going to be moving to Florida in a few weeks. Perfect, moving to Florida in July. Ugg. So I'm waiting for my lawyer to tell me the closing date and when I have to get out, so I can arrange the mover. What a mess this is going to be. Packing is now going into overdrive,and I have to finalize how I'm getting three (more liley four) cats into a mini-van and drive for two days. This means that the outside cat, Baby, will probably be moving into my house today. She doesn't know it yet; she's been outside her whole life which is probably around five years. But she counts on me, and I'm no longer going to be there, so I guess she has to come along. Welcome to the inside Baby. This will be an interesting few weeks. |

So I'm waiting for my lawyer to tell me the closing date and when I have to get out, so I can arrange the mover. What a mess this is going to be. Moving is no fun. When I moved I rented a small dumpster. I was amazed at how much junk I'd accumulated. No way was a regular curb-side trash bin or two going to hold all the stuff I'd managed to acquire over the years and suddenly discovered I really didn't need. Some things I donated to the Salvation Army. Some things I set out by the curb and people just took them (I call it curb-cycling). Other things I just got rid of. That's where the dumpster came in handy. Packing is now going into overdrive,and I have to finalize how I'm getting three (more liley four) cats into a mini-van and drive for two days. Check out pet-friendly motels. http://www.petswelcome.com/ They generally charge a $15-25 per pet fee. Oh, and they make small travel litter boxes which might help. It should be quite an adventure with three (or four) cats. Funny story. When we were bringing Persia here we thought she'd gone missing at a motel. They knew we had a cat with us but just to be safe we hung the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. We walked across the street to get a bite to eat. Got back, where's the cat? We had *everyone* looking for her. The maid swore she had not opened the door. I thought for sure I'd lost my cat somewhere in Alabama. She had managed to squeeze herself into a tiny ball behind the night stand next to the bed. That was quite a feat since Persia was not a small cat. But she was grey so she was nearly invisible. This means that the outside cat, Baby, will probably be moving into my house today. She doesn't know it yet; she's been outside her whole life which is probably around five years. But she counts on me, and I'm no longer going to be there, so I guess she has to come along. Welcome to the inside Baby. Surprise, Baby! Guess what? The great indoors really *is* great. No bugs, no threats from other animals, no rain, no cold, no excessive heat. Just food & water and a nice place to sleep readily available. This will be an interesting few weeks. I wish you the best. I appreciate the reason for the move (your mother). The cats will get over it... eventually. Jill |

If you feel that way about Florida in July, why are you moving there? I'm not criticizing, just curious. Good luck with the move, and especially with Baby. |

Purrs for Baby to accept the inside; it's very kind of you to take her with you. This will be an interesting few weeks. I think so too ;-) Tweed |
