Comments on: Scotty slept with me last night! http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/2287/scotty-slept-with-me-last-night.html Blogging about feral cats and life in general Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:58:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Administrator http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/2287/scotty-slept-with-me-last-night.html/comment-page-1#comment-70550 Administrator Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:19:37 +0000 http://www.feralcatbehavior.com/?p=2287#comment-70550 Well I probably didn't make a new friend today,but I told the gal who was interested in Fog that I did not believe her home was the best place for this boy. I didn't even take him to meet her, I came to this decision after re-reading all the emails sent to me from her. It is never easy to make such a difficult decision and leave someone disappointed- but I take what I do for these kittens seriously. Her remarks about letting him outdoors after he has been with them awhile concerned me. He isn't interested in going outside and has every ample opportunity to do so here when we let the dog in and out. Yet, when I told her this, she still remarked that she would give him an opportunity to go outside should he wish...sigh.. In retrospect, I should have stopped the communication after the third email instead of getting her hopes up and for that I am sorry. But it is as I told her, I am not trying to "get rid" of these kittens and cats. I want the best possible home for them and if that doesn't happen, then they will stay here with us.
