I really don't know if I'd be able to do that, but you truly put his comfort and well being first. I'm very impressed. And thank you HOB/HM (that'll take me a while to get used to!) for taking him in, and I suspect he'll eward you many many times over for it with love and purrs. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344863 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 03:05:38 +0000 jcat 344863@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have been holding my breath while this story took shape, because it seemed to involve so many hurdles -- the distance Rocky/Sterling would have to come, whether Huddy and Maverick would take to their new buddy, whether Rocky could adjust to a new home -- but I can let it out now in a huge sigh of relief and joy for HM and Sterling! You guys rock so much, imagine making all this happen for a poor little cat who had no one to love him till loving TDKers came along and gave him a life! ALL of you -- Scarver, Rebekah, Bobbi and HM especially -- are total stars! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344849 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:31:09 +0000 scarver 344849@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good night Rocky/Sterling. I was hoping to hear how your day went and maybe see some pics of you and your brothers. I hope you did okay while your mommie was gone today. I am falling asleep at the computer, so I am going to have to give it up for tonight. I hope you get to sleep in the bed again. I know you must think you have went to kitty heaven.:) I will be looking for you tomorrow. I love you. I hope you, HOB, and Bobbi had a nice time visiting today. Maybe the boys will be still long enough for some pics tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344802 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:03:55 +0000 SoxsMom 344802@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am so happy for you all.

Reading all of the posts on this saga has been like watching a serial version of "As the Kittyworld Turns!" (not that I know much about soap operas but really doesn't this tale have it all???) I am so glad there has been a happy ending/beginning for all concerned! It is just really wonderful! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344463 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:11:41 +0000 Kilroy 344463@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh gosh, this thread is making me tear up. {{{hugs}}} for Mollycat and everyone else who's ever had to let a cat go because it was the right thing to do.</p> <p>(Kilroy wishes she could go home and hug her fuzzbutt RIGHT NOW!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344460 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:08:45 +0000 debsterwiz 344460@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No thanks will ever really be necessary for caring for these two. Caring for them was my pleasure! They needed someone and I stepped up. I was just happy to be able to be a cog in the fates wheel. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344458 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:04:05 +0000 scarver 344458@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I understand Deb, I don't think I could ever be a foster parent. I just get to attached. I feel for you come tomorrow. I know Cherri will be happy though. She was very blessed to have you offer to take care of her babies. Thank you for doing that. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894/page/2#post-344451 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:56:52 +0000 HuddysMama 344451@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>((Deb))</p> <p>Ok guys, I'll talk to you all later.

Seeing so much joy all wrapped up in one place is just so awesome! Welcome Sterling, for a boy with no home and no one to love, you've come a long way baby!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344436 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:42:38 +0000 scarver 344436@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you HOB! You see, God or the "kitty angels" really did make this all happen. He and Maverick are already taking a nap together under the bed. Huddy and Maverick know Sterling was meant to be there, they have already excepted him. He had been coming inside our home for weeks, maybe a month or so, and our boys still wasn't letting him go past the living room or dining room. He did come to the office a couple of times, but soon as one of the boys seen him he went running back to the living room. It was so unfair. But he don't have to worry about none of that now.:)<br /> Thanks to everyone for your kind words, support and just understanding why I am so sad right now. Thank you Mollycat71! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344435 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:40:47 +0000 2bpurring 344435@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you all...mine was the easy part!! And worth every penny to bring so much joy first to Scarver and Rebekah and now to HOB!!!<br /> A big thank you go's out to Bobbi also!! God sure put her in the right place at the right time!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344428 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:30:50 +0000 paulajeanne 344428@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Goodness, I missed that one!

Hugs to HOB and her family and to Scarver and hers! Scarver, I'm sure he knows you did this so he could have a better life. I'm sure he misses you both but thanks you in his kitty heart that you were able to let him go....</p> <p>and hugs to bobbi who was instrumental in this, and did something like this before...didn't bobbi take in a kitty that Fonda Honda needed a home for? This place is full of wonderful people!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344415 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:18:51 +0000 HuddysMama 344415@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*sniffling*</p> <p>Oh, Scarver, I told him last night that he was probably sad inside and missing you both, but that you guys would always love him and think he was special. I also told him that you weren't mad at him and he'd done nothing wrong, that he was here because you loved him and wanted him to go to a good home.</p> <p>He didn't bogart the toy at all, only joining in when it came his way. He is VERY respectful. I just love his deep rumbly purr.</p> <p>You are not being overdramatic at all, and I can see why you miss him so. He and Maverick are under the bed right now taking a nap (I just went to look).</p> <p>Thank you both so much for being so unselfish and caring. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344413 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:16:42 +0000 mollycat71 344413@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Scarver, I want you to know that I think was you did was a totally honorable thing. I am so proud of you for putting Rocky's needs before your own. You knew that you couldn't care for all your kits so you found him a home where he could receive all the love he ever needed. You know HOB will be here and give you constant updates on him. Plus I am certain she will add him to her Catster page soon. I know the pain you feel. I think most of us do. I think we all have a special affection for our pets, that is why we are in this site, that is why we post, and that is why we all get along so well with and relate to each other. We just "get" each other. About five years ago my now ex and I split and we had two cats we had gotten as babies. They were a boy and a girl who were inseperable. I automatically assumed I would get them because he was never around (he travelled so much for work). He said he was taking "his" cat (the girl). I said "no way" because he could not ever break them up. They had an unbelieveable bond having never been apart. They were lost without each other. The fights about it were horrible, I was not gonna lose my cats. I could care less that he was taking off with another woman and all our furniture, all our belongings and had spent all our (my) money on the bi$%#. The cats were another story. He got very mean, I saw a side of him I never knew exsisted. Finally I knew he wouldn't back down so I had to give up my cat as well. It was the most gut wrenching painful thing I had ever done. But I put the kits needs above my own. Amazingly enough the woman he "hooked up" with became fast friends with me and called me with updates. They didn't last long together but she ended up keeping the cats when they broke up. She offered to drive them from Florida to Illinois for me but by that time I had Betty and Wilma. It took a long time for that pain to go away but it did and I know you are strong and will be blessed for your good deed. It's ok to hurt right now. Just hug your babies a little extra hard right now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344412 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:15:44 +0000 2bpurring 344412@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Here comes the water works again...I understand also your deep love for him. If you didn't love him so much you would not have let him go. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344405 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:05:54 +0000 katthays 344405@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Scarver, now I am getting teary-eyed. I can understand your deep love for him and they know more than we think they do. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344403 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:05:11 +0000 mollycat71 344403@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HOB, I love that it is working out so well! You must be walking around with a constant smile on your face! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14894#post-344401 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:02:47 +0000 scarver 344401@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good morning HOB, thank you for posting. So, Sterling it is, huh? Great name, and I think it fits him well. Last night was his first time to ever sleep on a bed. I can't seem to stop crying (tears of joy) for him. He so deserves all that you have to offer him. Thank you so much. It sounds just like him to sleep at the foot of the bed, not to invade his brothers space. And waiting patiently for his turn to snuggle up in your arms and go to sleep. I bet when they were playing he didn't try to bogart the toy? He is so patient and respectful, it is one of the things that made me love him so. I told you he liked to be carried.:) Now you know what I meant, huh? And yes, he not only wants to be loved, he actually wants to give love, and I think that is very sweet. Now you know why it was so very hard to let him go and why we miss him so. I truly believe he is a special kitty. Will you please tell him that Rebekah and I did not send him away because he was bad or because we did not love him? That we did it because we "did" love him and we just wanted him to have a special home with a special mommie and his own family. I know, maybe I'm being a little over dramatic here, but I just can't help it, I just get so close to animals. I know and believe that they have feelings and emotions and it hurts my heart knowing that he may think we were mad at him or didn't want him. I will be waiting patiently for more posting from you today. Have a great day with all 3 of your boys. </p>
