STUPID COMPUTER

I had a great post all typed up and ready to post and my browser closed on me!!! AAARRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

So...I'm too lazy to retype the whole damn thing right now. I need sustenence. So let me just concentrate on the PTK part.

To consolidate the PTK sage in one post...I found a PTK..an adorable orange kitty that just showed up on our door one day...after being around for awhile we took it in, fed it, watered it, and tried to nurse it back to health when i saw it was injured..tried to find it's home..and eventually couldn't afford to keep it here (plus it wasn't fair having to keep it locked in the backroom until we COULD afford to take it to the vet) so we took it to the anti-cruelty society. They gave it all it's shots, fixed it, and sent it to a Pet Smart in Utica to be adopted out...which happened after about 2 weeks.

So, in the meantime, this other orange cat starts coming around the house. It tries to jump in my boss's car one day when he stopped by, so i picked it up and asked the boys who are playing next door if it's theirs. "nope" they say "it's theirs" and indicate the house next to theirs on the other side.

Well, then the house goes up for sale. And the cat comes by more and more. Soon we notice the house is vacant. (i never saw the moving vans honest! and I'm a nosy neighbor) and the cat is coming by more and more...it's even eating the food i set out for it...so i let it in and give it food and water and it sleeps here for hours. Eventually it leaves...but this morning @ 5am I'm awoken by a horrific meowing screaming coming from outside. It also waked up kevin and kaguya. I go running downstairs and then outside with a light trying to find the cat. I search everywhere but cant' seem to find it. I'm terrified it's hurt or trapped. after searching for nearly 20 minutes I can't find anything so I reluctantly go back to sleep.

But once I wake upand come down to the computer room, there's the kitty outside the patio doors looking to come in. It sees it's food and water bowls still there. So I let it in. It explores for awhile, eats, then lays down to sleep (where it has been for the past 2 hours) So I get the # off the sign in front of the house the kitty is from and call to find out if the owners abandoned it or what....turns out they gave it to the neoghbor kids. That's right. The kids whose cat i originally heartlessly stole and gave away.

So I guess it's just gonna be a 2 home kitty...1 during the day and 1 at night. It bothers me that they've got it being an outdoor kitty cuz I don't agree with that in principal, altho one of my best friends swears by it cuz she hates litter boxes. I just worry about things that can happen to it...especially when next door to us lives a huge ferocious rotweiler. But since it's only my PTK....

And now to grab something to eat, maybe watch a little mindless TV, crochet a little, then back to wedding invitations. I should be able to crank most of those out tonight and all of them by this weekend.

And just got a call from my mom...tomorrow I'm going to a hockey game with her *YAY*

our new PTK

So, the house where the new PTK lives is up for sale and we think they have moved out. Which means they left their cat cuz it still comes around. I haven't seen them on days and they haven't answered when we've knocked. So today I let the PTK in and fed it...it's currently sleeping. It devoured the half cup of food I gave it. I think tomorrow I'm going to call the realtor to see what's going on with them ... i don't know if they can give me answers but i can tell them i have their cat and ask if they can have the owners contact me or something. Funny thing ... today I got this in my email:

If you think your cat will warmly welcome a new feline family member, you may be in for a surprise.

For the first few days, consider confining your new cat to a single room. Allow your cats to sniff at each other under a closed door. When you think both cats are ready, have them meet face-to-face under your watchful eye. Allow the cats to stake out their territory and determine what areas they are willing to share. And stay out of minor tussles--they're part of the getting-to-know-you process.

synchronicity.

Truth be told the ptk hissed at the door and then at me when it saw Kaguya's paw reacing under it. And of course we won't let them interact until we know this one is FelV free ... if we keep it. We might have to take this one to the anti cruelty society as well. That makes me sad. But we can't very well afford to take it to the vet yet. Especially since I pretty much burned the bridge of Kevin's mom helping us at all with the wedding (read my wedding blog) I'm still upset over that but there's nothing I can do about it now. *sigh*
I hate to leave the cat back here alone but I'm officially starving. I need food. I have a headache.
