Probably more space. More resident cats in a not big place makes stuff harder, plus you're taking care of two cats needs as it is.

We probably shouldn't bully internet people into keeping a cat just because we like seeing pictures of it.

Base Emitter posted:"Adopters will receive a Something Awful account and a list of cat threads to post in." I'm totally down with this. One of my favorite things about fostering is getting that email a week or so later where they tell me about how happy the kitty is in their real home

Deport The Irish posted:We probably shouldn't bully internet people into keeping a cat just because we like seeing pictures of it. Eh, we can go easy on them. I totally get it. I've followed threads before where folks rescue a dog but can't keep it for X reasons, and even though intellectually, I'm OK with it, emotionally I end up really liking the relationship the people have with the animal, which I don't like to see go. Really, there's no wrong decision here, and while I do appreciate that people would like to help, pet ownership is just that... ownership. So if we take on Butterscotch it's because we believe that we can provide the full time/cost care for him and could foreseeably foster more animals down the line. The really nice thing about our situation though, is that until WE find Butterscotch a home, he's ours. Most of the time, we foster kittens until they hit a certain weight, the SPCA takes them back, and they adopt them out. But with Butterscotch, we will be in charge of making sure he finds a deserving home, that will appreciate him and provide him with the care he needs. That's a really cool responsibility, and it means we get to take our time. Whether he finds a home with one of our friends, one of you guys, or us, Butterscotch will live a good life, and his story will have a happy ending, and that's what this whole business is about. For now, let's just enjoy him! You guys get to enjoy him like this:  But I get to enjoy him like this:   He may look cross, but I swear he was purring!

I enjoy looking at that big fat cat, but also wish he'd get to a healthy weight. In the meantime though, i have a fat cat to look at.

Let me introduce my two cats: Major Tom, and Lucy. Major tom is a bit of an rear end in a top hat (well, he's a cat) and loving loves face rubbings. He is also a pretty big cat, at least twice as big as Lucy, if not more. Lucy is small, and light, and never seems to actually look directly at you. Tom is 3 or 4 years old now, and Lucy about a year younger. See, where we live, we used to have problems with people dropping cats off, so we had a lot at one time. We pared it on down to just a few, and eventually, it was just his mother, and him. Well, she was still somewhat wild, so she took off with him for a while, came back, got sick and died. Well, Tom got pretty lonely. Lonely enough that one morning, I stepped outside to find a small, grey, kitten on the back porch. People friendly, and just old enough to eat crunchy cat food. So, either someone tossed a cat, and Ole' tom picked her up, or he went hunting and stole a kitten from somewhere. I guess she doesn't mind too much, they are pretty inseparable.

Last night five minutes before falling asleep, I found out that my only remaining grandma has liver cancer, and it's quite aggressive. I was planning a visit for the spring anyway (I live on another continent), but now I may have to make an emergency trip in the next few weeks to be able to see her one last time. Someone post me some dachshunds.

Either Butterscotch gets healthy and finds a good home thanks to you or he gets healthy and finds one with you, both are awesome and you are good people.Also you are an rear end in a top hat for taunting us with that last picture.

I would love to sink my face into Butterscotch's floof tummy, to hell with the allergic reaction I would get, it would be so worth it. Charlie has figured out that water is FUN and as well as getting so mad he growls at it. Also leaping: http://youtu.be/l4y6IDhMyGs Charlie has a channel going so if anyone wanted to see him being a nutter you can do any time of the day! http://youtu.be/l4y6IDhMyGs?list=PLWGmj41lGouT4r-SIfjIAgvnaZF91kicc
