Problem with rescue cat

[FreyjaRoMaine]

Another good call, Howlinbob.

I cannot understand the point of having a pet - of any kind - if you're not going treat it like one of the family... Don't get me wrong, I am personally not a fan of the other 'Paris Hilton' extreme, but it's a living, breathing creature, that has needs; why would you get one if you weren't prepared to provide for it fully?? It's not like getting unexpectedly pregnant... I've never heard anyone say "yeah, we've got a cat/dog/hamster/snake/giraffe, but we didn't plan him/her/it, but what can you do?". You have to make a concious choice to ether go find one, go rescue one, or invite a waif and stray into your home. Pointless.

Rant over, I'm now stepping AWAY from the soap box...

Sounds like Humph is going to be happy in his new home and will never know your sadness at letting him go, but I think you should be proud of yourself for being brave enough to let him go. All you need to do is to think how happy and relaxed he sounds already and how he has clicked with his new owner. It was a tough call for you but in the end you followed your desire for Humph to be happy rather than keeping on trying to bring him into the gang. Big hugs to you and happy thoughts to Humph xx

Here is a Humph update: after 5 days in his new home, Ann has now asked for Humph's paperwork as he has his 'check-in' appointment at her vet's next Friday! Isn't this great. Surely it means he is 'well in there' with his paws under the table. He has his own basket at the top of the stairs although he sleeps under Ann's bed, and he has his box for playing in downstairs. He used to LOVE playing in a box at my house!!! She is going to keep him inside for 2 more weeks. This is wonderful, it's just what I wanted for Humph. This is his forever home. This makes all the agonising worthwhile.

THANK YOU everyone for your kind and supportive comments. You have really helped!
Lots of love Louisa xxx aka Howlinbob xxxx

I'm so pleased it's worked out well for Humph. Definitely sounds like the right decision for him, even though it was hard for you.
