I have been communicating with a woman via email about Monroe. Yesterday, her and her daughter came by to take a look at my kittens and see my set-up. I was very impressed, she was immaculately dressed, her daughter was gentle and quiet with the animals. I had sequestered the kittens in the house and the other cats were in the enclosure. We sat in the living room while the kittens investigated these new people. In the end, they were captivated with Monroe and decided that wanted him. She also blessed me with giving me a large donation to my cause.

Monroe went to the vet yesterday before they arrived. I didn’t think his forked tail and his kink in the middle was something that would have to be amputated, but I am not a vet, nor do I play one on the Internet. I was right, the tail was genetically altered and will be perfectly fine. Besides, it just adds to his charm.

I didn’t check out the house this time. I know, I know, with the McKinley scare what was I thinking? But, I had a really good feeling about this family. They behaved wonderfully with my cats. Most people come here and start chasing around the kittens and cats so they can hold them! I tell people all the time that my cats don’t TRUST automatically. Most of them have been hurt by people and therefore that folds over to how they react. These two sat on the couch, let the cats come to them and never showed anything but interest and love.

Since he has left, I have received three emails from her about how delightful he is! He is living with five people and a cavalier spaniel, he will be an inside only kitty and he slept with the daughter last night. They have all flipped over him inside and out! YAY!!! Sure takes the sting away from what happened to McKinley and restores my faith in humankind.

I heard from the editor in India. The magazine is out now, and I am being sent a copy of it. Should be interesting to see what types of other articles are in the magazine. She also said the “check is in the mail.”

Prowler is back on medication for her UTI. Ever since the pet food recall scare she hasn’t been doing to good. She isn’t peeing blood anymore, but she still has those spasms and can’t pass much urine. He put her on a heavy-duty antibiotic and a muscle relaxer to “put out the fire.” I hope it works, she is pretty miserable.
