It breaks my heart

I'm seriously considering finding a home for "C.C." the calico we took in a couple months ago. She's not getting along at all with one of our other cats, and today I came home to find blood smeared on the wall in my office! ACK! She seems OK but is mostly hiding tonight.

I talked to the kids about it and they're more accepting of this than my hubby. I'd like to find an alternative, but I just don't think there is one. We'll think about it. If I do, I'll also put an ad in Craigslist.

You never know, MTP. We have found homes for three other kitties in the past that we just couldn't keep, and they were nothing special. Well, one of them had no tail, but otherwise they were just ordinary cats. I think people are more interested in cats that someone knows than a random shelter cat - you can tell them about her personality, you know at least her recent history, etc. At least I hope so.

About the one with no tail - I don't know if it was a purebred Manx, a mix or just a fluke (it did have the long back legs that Manx have). We put an ad in the paper, and this guy left a message saying he was oh, so very interested in this cat, wanted to know more about her, was willing to pay upwards of $70 for it (this was 1993) because he wanted to breed her. I blew him off and gave her to someone who wanted a PET. Boy, he was angry. Too damn bad.
