I didn't sleep last night as I knew what was coming today. This morning we had all the kittens out for a bit and they were playing together, but then it came time to find Teddy out and put her in the carry case. Rob set off leaving me in tears (he was upset too) and took her up to his parents in Altrincham for a break and then he and his dad, Alan took her on up to Southport to her new home. She's going to a retired couple who lost their 18yr old Aby recently, they sound a very nice. I'm sure she will bring a lot of pleasure especially to the wife who has MS. Her new name is Bonnie and her pedigree name from us is Khuphera Banita.
So long Teddy, I hope you have a wonderful life, it's been a pleasure helping to bringing you into the world and watching you grow, stay safe. Love Holly, Granny Bud, and us human Mum and Dad.
This afternoon we were all quiet. The cats were in their beds and the kittens were dotted around the house, there was no play or badness in them. They are obviously feeling their sisters departure.
Rob got back on the evening and said how nice they and the home were, she even has her own bedroom, bless her. He left her mooching around the place, it was better not to make a big thing about 'goodbyes' for her sake.
I was upset before bed, was thinking of her all alone in her new place, without her sisters. Wondering what she'd done wrong and feeling sad. It would be lovely to think that she'll understand what has happened to her and why but I know she won't and she will just 'go with the flow'.
Oh Kylie you made me blink back a tear too. It's always hard saying goodbye to animals but I feel sure she is going to be cherished by her new owners. She is incredibly beautiful and you have the most wonderful portrait to treasure.
what a beautiful cat ! She looks regal. I would have been in tears too. You get so attached so quickly. But at least you know where she is now and you also know that she will be loved and look after very well.
@moominmomma - i'm not surprised, i think you've not done the job right if you don't shed a tear. @stresshead - yeah i know but it was the first time we've ever done it and even having he knowledge they were going doesn't make it any easier. :o(
I'm crying now! Hope she is alright tonight and not too upset. They sound like lovely people she is going to, if they weren't lovely, their last cat would not have lived so long.
I bet she's queen of the castle at her new home already. Rob said it was a great home--totally cat people. But, I have to warn you, we've bred and sold almost a hundred kits and it never gets any easier. I just disappear and let Alan take over and even he doesn't like it!! Love to all, Val'n'AlanXX
@yotulip@notsorandompics@fjh@sangwann - thanks all @alanval - yeah rob had snuffle or two as leaving and later in the evening. I cried at bed time as could imagine her all alone on her first night, and hope she gets it one day why we disacppeared but know she'll just go with the flow
