Hey Everybody,
By now, many of you have probably seen my posts and pics regarding Claire. I'm confident with all the prayers and good thoughts coming her way we'll find a good home for her. In the meantime, I'm trying not to get too attached. The longer I have her the harder it will be, so I'm asking all of you
(I've asked the same of my friends and family) to convince me not to keep her.
It's very important to me to be a responsible pet owner and give my cats the best care I can. So, for practical and financial purposes (especially if Pete does end up having heart problems), it's best if I don't keep Claire. Giving her attention and love isn't a problem, but realistically I know that isn't enough. I keep telling myself she deserves a better home than I can give her. I also have to consider my other cats. Katie, my oldest, is very adaptable and would be fine. As her sibling, no problem with Pete either. My middle "child" Gracie would not be happy. She does not like other cats (accept Katie) and is still upset about Pete coming to live with us.
Anyway, please, please, please talk me out of any thoughts I'm having of
keeping Claire. It's really in her best interest to go to another home.
Thanks!
