Down To One

One last playful swat.

Angle our cat of 12 years.

Buddies.

Yesterday was a hard day. We turned in Shaylin's cat that she has had for 12 years. This was a hard choice to make and we all felt it. But she had taken up peeing on the bathroom & kitchen rugs. And the bench seat in the kid's bathroom. We gave her a litter box of her own and would keep her in Shay's room when we would leave the house. But as soon as she was let out, she would head to the bathroom and the rug.

So, after church on Sunday Steve came home and picked up Angel. He got Shaylin from late service at the church and they headed to the humane society. We figured it would be easier to do it right away instead of letting Shay get reattached.

While at the society, they walked through the adoption room. Steve said we was tempted to bring home a new cat but didn't. They did realized that Roxie was not there. She has been taken already. I just got a call on Angel. They are verifying her medical records. She will probably be adopted soon by a senior. She just needed a home where she was the only cat. I know she will do better where she is going.

So we now only have Carley. I feel sorry for her. She has lost both of her house mates in a weeks time. She is asking for more attention and is looking for Angel. That is the one reason Steve considered bring home a cat. But we will stay a single cat family for awhile.
