My co-worker's biggest fear is that something will happen to him and there will be nobody to take his kitty. Rick and I had a long talk a couple weeks ago and Rick even agreed that we can't just let the cat go to a shelter (or worse). His relatives don't want the cat. I told Bob that we'd take Hemi if he (Bob) got the virus or if anything happened to him. And we'd do whatever we could to make sure Hemi had a good home with us. I think that was such a relief to Bob. He has high blood pressure and is diabetic; if he were to get the virus and would have to go to hospital, he's scared to death he'd never get back home.
Well, Rick had to go into work today to talk to the union president. Bob put his house key out on the porch and Rick picked it up (with a wipe), cleaned it off, and brought it home. If we have to, we'll have a key to his house to pick up Hemi and bring him home, if the need ever arises.
I used to have Bob's house key and I had his car keys (just in case anything ever happened and I needed to get into the house), but when I retired, I gave his keys back to him. But geez, it's a cat. And what will happen to him if we don't take him? Rick knows Bob and I've cat-sat for Hemi (and for Jasper, too, when he was alive), so Hemi is used to me being around.
And you can't just let a cat go by the wayside. No way. And Hemi came from a shelter; that's where Bob got him. He is declawed; he was declawed when Bob got him. Hopefully, it will never, ever happen, but if it does, we'll do what we can for him. And I think Bob knows that Hemi would have a good home with us. You do what you have to do.
