Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted January 12 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 12 There is a really nice man that is about to retire. He loves cats, and gingers are his favorite. He lost his orange cat of 19 years and wanted another ginger kitty. A friend put us in contact wth each other and Waffle will be going to live with him. Waffle will be coming indoors, and will be allowed outdoor "excursions." He will be sleeping in a bedroom with his new human. We really like Waffle. He is really an amazing cat. I've never seen such a well mannered cat before. But this home is not ideal for him. We are not cat people. I was very concerned about what happens when we leave for months at a time. We had no plans at all to do van life with a cat. That sounded like a level of complexity that would be tough to navigate. Future waffle pics might be more sporadic now. I will try to keep everyone updated on his journey. The guy is so excited. He has his cat carrier on standby. Very pleased with this happy ending. I was becoming attached and I found myself worrying about him if he was tardy for his usual pop in. This is perfect timing too, because we were about out of fancy cat food, and I was about ready to go to the vet and get vaccinations and any other medication/prevention feline needs. Yay! 2 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted January 12 Author Share #9 Posted January 12 There was literally a crazy cat lady that wanted him. She houses a ton of cats. She had this large heated garage facility that is home to all kinds of cats. I politely told her that her scenario might not be ideal for him. He wanys attention and too many other animals, he might get lost amounst in the fray. Someone in her family told me that there is like 50 cats there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I opened that can of tuna, I was thinking "What the hell am I doing? What happens after this?" Then the worming into our life began. This cat is clean, soft, cuddly and he smells fantastic.

Kirby ★ Posted January 12 Share #35 Posted January 12 This sounds like a wonderful solution. I know you'll miss him, but Waffle sounds like a cat who will like a lot of attention and it would be hard when you went on extended trips. Happy to think of Waffle as a spoiled indoor kitty. You did a good thing matching these two up and giving Waffle a great life. And this man is getting a great cat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did the right thing and for next owner who is so happy and will treat Waffle kindly. Multiple reasons. Allergies in the house were worsening quickly after his many inside visits. I learned from everyone here that inside is better than outside. Waffle deserves much better than we could give him. He needs a home where he can crawl in bed with his owner. hat just wasn't an option here because of allergies. I did really like the cat. I love my husband more. I am a little heartbroken though. This is one really neat cat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one really neat cat. I get this. Dearie had decades long allergies, which increased as he aged. You need to realize he grew up as a teen with always a dog at home, then there was always a dog when he and ex had their children. He loved a German Shepherd and then later, a sheepdog. Right up to his divorce. When he started life as a divorced guy when I met him onward, no dog at home for a number of reasons: one of them just unable to deal with dog when I was working fulltime and also him away for months, cycling trips,etc. Also his allergies to dog hair was increasing. It was clear, he still loved dogs whenever his daughter would bring her dog when visiting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 13 Share #46 Posted January 13 You can help with the cat allergies by washing the cat often. This also provides some variety to your visits with the doctor. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
