An offer I had to refuse

Eta: Speaking of cats, I saw this *hilarious* post on another blog and just had to share it!

Sunday Comics With Daisy The whole blog is pretty cute and funny really, and is written by Daisy the cat. Big Grin

Today at work my former carpool rider told me that the kitty she took in to her home about 8 months ago, needs a new home. The kitty had a litter of kittens, which carpooler found good homes for, but kept Mama Cat.

The problem is that carpooler has a much older cat (16 yo) and Mama Cat is a youngster and likes to play and bugs older cat a lot.

Carpooler wanted to give Mama Cat to me (spayed, all shots, declawed, a sweetheart) because she knows I'd be a good home, and because I'm in the same complex, so she could visit Mama Cat.

My heart wanted to say yes. Many of my reservations about getting a new pet - all the vet costs, neutralized. But, I had to say no.

The timing just isn't right. If I knew that I was for sure going to be staying here for another year or more, then it would be different. But, right now I don't know if I'll be here a month from now.

It just wouldn't be fair to the Mama Cat or to the carpooler. Frown

    I was offered an 18 month old female boxer today. I would take her in a minute, but I'm sure DH would say no!

    It's so hard to say no, esp. when it's something you DO want.

    Happens to all of us at some point - at least the fire department didn't show up! That happened to one of our neighbors and it was a wake up call because her smoke alarm did NOT work. Thankfully it was JUST smoke. We live in a condo and all condo owners were required to replace the hard-wired smoke detectors with new ones. I was ok with the expense because now I feel safer with mine AND my neighbors all have new ones too.

    That would be scary to find out that they *didn't* work! I'm glad you and your neighbors have new ones installed.

    Condos and apartments are SO susceptible to fires - esp. spreading FAST. A few months ago, 16 families in my complex lost their homes and possessions due to a fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
