Bobbi is a cat who lost his home for three reasons..the kids grew up and moved away, no one thought he would live this long (huh?…does life have an built in expiry date?) and now mom and dad want to be free to travel. At first I said no, but then changed my mind when asked how to go about arranging to put him down…(oops excuse me, did I say no?…sorry, I really meant yes.)
I did ask how old he was, and what was his name, when did they get him and what color he was? (whatever difference that would make.) Bobbi was a black and white 12 year old who they had had for almost 12 years. Now I have this picture in my mind of Bobbi the dignified tuxedo cat…but it was a grey/brown and white tabby cat who arrived here….oh, sorry Bobbi, wrong picture.
Who has a cat for 12 years and does not know what color he is?
Anyway, Bobbi has arrived and he is having a hard time settling in. We had him in the medical room when he first came and then moved him over to the house, where he had a meltdown. So he is back in the medical room, happy and content. |
Bobby brown is still in the medical room and he is still in his pen but….he is mostly out of hiding now, he likes to lay around on his chair. The plan is to open bobbie’s pen door with the hope that eventually both he and Apollo can live comfortably together free in the medical room.
At the rate that bobbie accepts change..this may take quite awhile….but, he has all the time in the world so he can figure things out as he is ready.
Bobby will eventually be ok, he is a very sweet cat with a gentle heart. This transition is difficult for him and will take a little more time. But I am telling him every day, it is not a mistake that he came here. He did not know it at the time but he was in the wrong home for his entire life. His right home will not only know what color he is but will never make him leave his home again…. he will be too big a part of their lives. |
