Kitty Update

We brought the stray cat (previously mentioned here) to Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, where Heidi had been volunteering her time before she became pregnant. It's a non-kill shelter and an extremely busy place with people looking for pets.

Unfortunately, it was pretty obvious that we couldn't keep the cat. It might have been carrying something, which could have been detrimental to our current cat Frankie, Heidi or little Crazy Legs. Plus, we were keeping the cat in our garage, which really wasn't fair or comfortable for a long term stay.

We held out hope that the proper owner would advertise or respond to the flyers we posted. Then we asked friends if they were interested in owning a very lovable and friendly kitten, but when that didn't work out, we instead chose our next best option.

We felt that our little friend would find a good home through the shelter, preferably the home of very rich people who would feed the cat Fancy Feast every day out of a crystal dish.

I'll miss you, little bugger, but I truly believe you'll find a proper place to call home other than our garage and the mean streets of Chicago's western suburbs.

  • Welcome to my world of delusion! Wouldn't you like to know what color the sky is in Pat-world?

  • I miss him too! Patrick was secretly hoping that the cat would pull a Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear and just cling to the bottom of the car and come home with us. Poor little Smuckers, or Mr. Stinkypants, or Nomar, or Bongo, whatever his name was - he was a little sweetheart!

  • That's an OUTSTANDING idea! We tried the gambling route yesterday at the Arlington Race Track and surprisingly, that didn't pan out. However, with all of Patrick's hours of practice, I am counting on him to make it to the World Series of Poker next year and bring home the million dollar pot. Then little Crazy Legs will be set for the tuition at oh, maybe College of DuPage, by 2022.
