Kitty Help...

[Caressa]

I'm very sad...but happy all at the same time. I just got a job for the summer (the happy part), but now I face quickly moving out of my apartment, trying to figure out how to get out of the last three months of my lease, moving everything into storage near my parents, and then moving to a new state for 3 months only to face doing it again in Sept. Anyway, when you work in theatre this is par for the course.

The sad part of this is, for the first time, I can't take my cats with me. I'm sitting here looking at my fuzzy kitties sleeping so sweetly around me and I'm going to miss them soooo much for the summer. They've been lots of entertainment and lots of love for me and I don't know how I will be for 3 months without them.

OK, so as usual, a longwinded story before I begin my question...

I can't leave them at my parents' because they already have two cats and a dog...and new furniture that my teeny one would try to attack in a heartbeat. (I'm very lax with them...they can sit all over the furniture in my house)
I'm having a hard time finding a friend to keep them...possibly because I made only one friend during my 9 months in CT (not meant to invoke awws...) which is quite fine because I"m soooo happy to be leaving.

Now I'm considering boarding them for the summer...but that's going to be expensive...at least I think it will be.

does anyone have any suggestions or ideas...know of a good pet boarding house either in Northeast Ohio or Northeast Indiana? I would appreciate any ideas.

In the meantime...here is a pic of my #1 kitty head - Poe Mackenzie

Send a PM to Laurel. She's probably wired into every cat lover on the board. Surely there's one in New England.

If you can ship them to Memphis, I'll be happy to babysit them. My cat is kinda bonkers all alone while I'm at work every since his sister went on.

Good luck with your cats and your theater career.

Thanks FF...

I didn't think of asking Laurel..she is such a kitty buff...

And who knows...I may have to take you up on the offer...be careful what you offer!

My babies are so great...Poe is Mr. Cool...lounging on the window sill, climbing his kitty tree, sleeping so comfortably on my chair that he is certain I bought for him...while Poppea is completely goofy...her favorite toys are ones that are shiny and make noise...I just found these great mylar balls she loves, but keeps losing under the couch....


Being without them for 3 months brings tears to my eyes when I think about it....

a pre-bed bump...

I feel a little better posting about my kitties here...hopefully it will help me get to sleep easier.
