Just a quick one line update regarding my catless condition........my Vet who adopted Winnie called me last nite and told me I could certainly rent-a-cat......Winnie if I wanted her, but she also had a poor waif who had lost her person and was lurking under the sofa all of the time because she was shy and fearful around all the other cats that Laurel has. Would I consider trying her? Well, I considered it for about 15 minutes and called her back and told her "yes". Winnie is so happy with Laurel that I hate to disrupt her life even though I would love to get my hands on her again. So I will try Pauline.
I am ridiculously excited anticipating our meeting tomorrow. Laurel will bring her in to the Animal Hospital when she comes to work and Ann and I will go over tomorrow afternoon, get introduced and bring her home for a test run. She can get used to being an only cat here and get used to being petted, brushed and tickled under the chin till she yells 'uncle'. My fingers are twitching in anticipation of fur and purrs. Wish me luck.

Pauline? I used to have a lovely girlfriend called Pauline, fifty years ago. Can't be the same one. But I know you'll be happy together.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Exactly right. What a lucky cat Pauline is.
ReplyDeleteI wish you both SO much luck.
It's like riding a bike or catching a mouse..you never forget. All the best to both of you.
ReplyDeleteI am only surprised you waited this long. Cat-less for a week? Too long for you.
ReplyDeleteI am sure given some time your personalities will mesh perfectly!
She will love you!!! I can't wait to 'meet' her ~
ReplyDeleteBless you for giving her a second chance ~
Good luck 3 times over..... 2 more for x-tra good luck. Who wouldn't love all that attention. It will be fur and purrs. What a delightful combination.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you Lo.
ReplyDeleteEvery one needs some companionship and people don't always fit the bill. Animals (cats in particular) are great for that.
Look forward to a picture or two if possible.

I'm glad you and Pauline found each other. It sounds like she needs someone just like you. I hope it all works out well for both of you and you show us pictures and tell us stories!
ReplyDelete:) I hope both cat and you find "love at first sight" :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about your loss. I have to put down several dogs and cats and it never gets easy. I still think about my Baron every day....
ReplyDeleteOh, it's been SO long since I stopped by because I vanished from the blogging world after an operation that went seriously awry. And then when going through my blog roll and figuring out who I still want to stay in touch with I saw you. And I'm so sorry for your loss and I know what it is to be catless. Well, we have ONE but she doesn't belong to me (she is my daughter's alone) and is very close to joining those who have gone before her. I lost my Kitty Baby nearly four years ago now and have not been able to even think about getting someone to fill her shoes, as it were. She was with me for 18 loyal years and was the absolute best cat in the world. Your bravery to try a new one may just inspire me. Hope ALL goes well. :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, I'm so glad you have a "date" with a new cat. I think you two will get along famously.
