Putting the S back (Not OT)
Monday at 2PM I am collecting the 10-week old black and white girl.
The guy I called seemed very indifferent about her he didn't ask me anything about myself it was just "Bring carrier" then again his English wasn't very good so I do hope he hasn't got the wrong end of the stick and she really is going to be there Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furball |

Hopefully yes on Monday- Sarsi has been so low I concluded last week the options we 1 Get new kitten ( I did not say a word to Dave he raised it Monday) 2 Be prepared to pill Sarsi with Prozac on a daily basis Since option 2 would have me and Dave also on Prozac option 1 looks more attractive so I had a look for "free kittens in East London" nope I am not being mean but in my general experience a lot of said kittens are what I term "pre-rescue" (my home may be untidy but the food is good, the tray gets cleaned, there's a slave on duty pretty much 24/7 (we go out together sometimes but only now and again), the water dish gets refilled, vets bills can be covered (the cats would probably like to forgo that bit) etc in short we have a berth)- and people giving free to good homes generally don't care what happens to the kittens so I figure some little kitten has just won the feline lottery because they could be given away and used as pit bull bait etc. Anyway reading the ads ****ed me right off- people giving away kittens because their landlord found out about the kitten and "won't let me keep it" oh why didn't you check first? Or a 3 month old called Oreo who is free to a good home complete with all her toys etc because "We've now found we're going to have a baby staying and we can't have her with a baby in the house" (I wanted her but when I checked again the ad had been pulled so either she had a new home or they've worked it out) In short I found a kitten they want a tenner for her I texted them Wednesday night and the guy called me yesterday- he doesn't speak much English but we seem to have established I will turn up about 2PM Monday with carrier, he doesn't sound remotely interested in what happens to her, I expected to be asked about my intentions but his main concern was I bring a carrier to take her there and then. I'm unsure what will happen Monday but have been out today to buy new feeding dishes etc- our big carrier is big enough for use as a kitten pen whilst we do the introductions but fingers crossed it will work out (can't pick her up before Monday as we are out most of this weekend) We wouldn't btw have done this if it was the other way round and Dunzi was still here she would have been fine as an only cat I suspect so we're just hoping: 1 We guessed Sarsi's mood correctly 2. She won't kill kitten on sight 3. I do get the kitten on Monday 4. We aren;t going to end up with a sick kitten who will die on us and break our hearts Anyway here's a link to her page on Gumtree http://www.gumtree.com/p/pets/cute-a...itten/84272010. |

I hope Sarsiwill like her and it works out well for all of you.Tweed |

She looks absolutely wonderful, if a little sad but that could be my imagination. She probably looks a little sad becuase the Mothership had just told her at the time what her fate was to be- ending up with us. The guy just texted me to check I was coming- the big carrier is out and lined with towels (Sarsi took one look and did a runner the last time she saw a cat in that it was Dunzi and she vanished I think she's concerned if I get her in there she'll vanish too) 30 more minutes and I'm going to get her Hopefully this will be the last time I sign myself Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furball |
