Default I think I have four owners now

I'm not sure when it happened, but at some time in the last month, I
went from being a fosterer to being owned. (Shut up Yowie!) I am still
resisting it, but the fact remains that Calico is still here, partly due
to my father's death and partly due to her illness and partly due to her
hyperthyroidism that is going to have to be treated. But she sleeps
with me, all four cats greet me at the door when I come in, I have a
special feeding routine just for her (she won't eat the kibble I have
lying around). She has become routine in my household. I have become
owned yet again. I wouldn't have thought it possible in this one
bedroom apartment to have four cats and not have it disturb the peace.
But except for a few growls here and there, they really get along great
most of the time.

Mind you, this does not mean I am not going to look for her a new home.
But it does mean that it is going to come after I finish catching up
in all of my classes, do my final projects, write thank you notes for my
fathers funeral stuff, send out all the stuff to family members about my
father's funeral like obituary and stuff. And THEN I will make flyers
about Calico. Until then, she is doing quite well here and I see no
reason to add one more thing to the mix of things I need to do. And I
will be owned until we find someone else - a really good someone else -
for her to own. Now that I am owned, there is no particular hurry to
get her out of here. (I can hear you laughing, Yowie, it isn't very
becoming.)

I can see you saying that a few years from now....I think she's made
her way into your heart. Enjoy!

Well, congratulations! Calico has done a good job, as have the trio
of prior residents.

I know what you mean, though. If we hadn't had a home for Jet/Potjie
already lined up, he would still be living here with us.

Cats, eh, they have a way about them ...

LOL! Cats have a way of doing what they want....it's like our one cat
decision.

We'd only had one cat (Speedy Joe) and when a friend's cat had kittens
we were firm. We would have preferred a boy (don't remember why) but
that was all we were going to compromise on, we could DEFINATELY only
have 1 cat....

So we go off to pick OUR kitten. There's these two tabbies running
about and very cute then one of them comes up to me, stares at me with
big blue eyes and makes it clear she wants to come onto my lap, where
she gives off a purr too big for something so small. Within 5 minutes
she is resting on my chest and giving me the look of love, I realise we
have found OUR kitten. I turn to Dave with the good news....

Only to find the other kitten snuggled into his lap and Dave staring at
her with complete and utter adoration.

We both open our mouths at the same time each about to say we have
found OUR kitten, I know I am not going home without this adorable
little bundle of fur that's plainly in love with me and I, with her

What comes out?

Dave "It can't be much more expensive to have two"

Me "They'll be company for each other"

Felines-1 Hoomins-0 AGAIN!

The funny thing is the adorable ball of fur that sat in my lap and
purred like that was Fugazi who was never a lap cat and didn't much
purr. I always suspect that 5 minutes after we arrived Isis took her
aside and said "If you want us to stay together you take her lap and
I'll take his"

Hehehehe. Congrats on the new addition to your family, Bridget! She
couldn't have picked a better slave!

Well, you know, when there is no reason not to keep her (everyone gets
along) it is very true "what is one more cat". Concatulations! And to her
too. Poor mite has had a very rough and upsetting time and if she is
comfortable now, it must be fate.
