Instinct, you're the best! I was very worried about it over the weekend - so glad to hear it went well!

Thanks for the update, Instinct. It's good to know there are still great men around. :-)

Hi,all. I want to let everyone know I am doing okay. Thank you very much to Instinct and Intuition for helping make my move a smooth one. As Instinct said, "El Jerko" was not there and almost felt like he wasn't even in the unit this morning when the moving guy banged the ramp to the truck down and only one of my neighbors peered out to ask what was happening at 9am on a Sunday morning. I did hear him come home around 9:30pm last night but I stayed in my room. I didn't hear anything from his room when I went to bed at 10pm and can only think that he either went out and stayed out or he just stayed in his room till I was completely moved out. Either way, he didn't show his face which was fine by me.
Mutual fiend called me last night to find out how I was and how everything was going and all (I have a feeling he will ask where I moved to and of course I will say I cannot not tell you). I didn't call him back and will not be calling in back. I am going to go and change my cell phone number and service in the next day or two. I signed up for a post office box as well. I will be notifying the receptionist about my husband and may notify security as well. I am working on trying to land either a temp or perm job somewhere else so that he knows nothing about me. I had a really nice chat on the phone with my Mom this morning and she basically said that I have learned a very hard lession and that it sounds like I am moving on with my life. She says I am taking responsibility for where it is due but am moving on. I told her to let my Dad know he can stop worrying about me (he sent me email last Friday telling me he wasn't sleeping very well because of my ordeal). I told Mom he can rest easier knowing I am in my own apartment now. Mom also suggested getting a legal separation to protect myself as the divorce proceedings could take time. I thought that was a good idea.
I am then going to call the attorney in the next day or so to find if there is a lesser cost way of doing things. Then I am going to call my Great Aunt tonight to ask about her lending me the money. One way or another hope to get the legal ball rolling.
Around 1:30am this morning, Sylvester came to me meowing and after petting him a bit found him to be drooling. This morning he continued his meowing. He didn't eat any of the food I gave him and continue to follow me around. He used the cat box but I didn't get there in time to see if he peed. I know he didn't poop or I would have smelled it. Mia seems fine and is eating, peeing, pooping and checking out everything. I am going to see about taking them to the vet this week. I am worried about Sylvester. He is only 2 years old.

I'm sure Sylvester is just out of sorts with the move, but a vet check would still be a good idea. Emerson drolls when he gets really happy. Sylvester may just really need your comfort right now.

I have given him lots of hugs and kisses. Mom said I should put him in one room till he gets reoriented. I will have to wait till I get home from work to do that and he may have readjusted a little at that time. Poor Sylvester. I am giving him extra attention.

Sylvester is just upset, Karin. I had the same problem with my Kirby (RIP), when I moved out of my marital home into a new apartment. But with a little love and extra attention, she was fine in a couple of days. But, of course, if Sylvester doesn't start eating and eliminating, a trip to the vet would be called for.
God bless, Karin. We're so happy that you are safe now.

i thought the same thing, MerD so I tried giving him some petromalt but he wouldn't take it. I find this odd as my first cat, Whiskers loved that stuff. Sylvester is so finicky.

Karin, So glad you are in the new place and doing everything that you need to move on. Tonight when you get home, try siting down by the water and food bowl and call Sylvester to you. He may just need you there to feel comfortable eating and drinking until he gets used to the new place. I have done that with Thierry when he as gotten upset. Sat there and petted him while he took a drink and talked softly to him as I hand fed him some little bites.

when I moved, I bought the girls a comfortball (available in any pet store or on the web), also known as feliway, and plugged it in. it tells your cats in a chemical way they understand that all is well and there is no need to be stressed. it is a little expensive (about $35 to $40 for a six week supply). my kitties did well. it also helps with some types of "other cat", "behavorial" and "elimination" issues. it was me that was stressed, but I was not stressed about the kitties...

Concrats to you Karin on your move. May the rest of your life have as much
ease as the move seem to. I am so happy you are safe too.
When I moved out of my marital home the mover STOOD ME UP!!!!!! Imagine, me
waiting all day and he never did come. My oldest daughter called the next morning and wanted to know what had happened and came right over with friends
and they all moved me out! I definitely related to what you said.
God Bless.Posted 4 years ago by SammyandOliversmama #

Karin, please watch Sylvester's symptoms closely. If he has a favorite food, now would be a good time to offer it. Ppearson has a good suggestion in trying to call him to food & water, and then rewarding him with attention when he shows interest or actually starts eating.
If you can get a good look at his mouth, please do. He may have an oral problem (tooth problem, soft tissue disease/injury) that you might not know about. Definitely, if he continues to drool or drool heavily, or doesn't start eating & drinking, you'll want to get him to the vet.

Oh Karen, I'm so very happy that you were finally able to get out of that awful sitiation! Kudos to Instinct and Intuition for all of their help and support. It wonderful to know that guardian angels are alive and well.
Sylvester will be just fine, he just needs to calm down and get used to his new home.
Congrats Karin, welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Now relax, get a pint of ice cream and enjoy your new home.

Is there any possibility that your ex may have given something to Sylvester?
You might want to call the vet first and see how soon you need to come in. Please forgive me for not being more trusting and for sounding like an alarmist, but I would not put anything past your ex.

Congratulations on being in your new home Karin, and bravo Instinct for being there to help. Keep an eye on Sylvester, but he's most likely to just be stressed from all the recent events & atmospheres.
Looking forward to the cyber housewarming when you're fully back online!

Whew! So glad the move is over, Karin, and you and the kits are safe. I haven't said much as others have given such good advice, but my prayers and thoughts have been with you every single day. And I will continue to send prayers for you till all is finished and you are truly free forever of that horrible situation. You are such a strong woman-congratulations! And bless you, Instinct for your help.

Karin, I just want to add my happiness that you are safe and in your new place. I hope Sylvester will be ok and that whatever is wrong is just stress. Hugs, purrs and loving, positive energy your way.
Instinct, thank you for being the kind, gentleman that you are. Hugs and purrs to you, too.

Rainingwolf, haven't seen you on much. Hope things are going better for you as well. I have to call the attorney to find out if I can less the price of her services by doing some of the paperwork myself and then giving it to her to go over and add to it. Will call my Grand Aunt tonight about borrowing the money needed. Just about finished with changing over all my accounts with my new post office box. I kept the mail box key because some mail may still come to old box. I will have to sneak over to check mail and will do that next weekend just to make sure. Hopefully he will not put return to sender on mail or throw it away. I don't expect any mail except one bill and that will be for the car insurance. I pay that online so no problem there.

Wouldn't it be something if you could catch the soon-to-be ex(louse) tampering with your mail? The Fed takes on a VERY nasty attitude about mail fraud...just a thought.
Glad you are safe in your new home;Ive been on pins and needles all weekend. Instinct, here's a virtual brewski for you, and put Intuition's "weapon of chioce" on my tab too. Thanks, pal, for being there.
Purrs and headbonks to all!

Instinct, you do good work! And to think that you need protection from 'some' of the nightshifters, hmmmm well that has to be a scary thought with your weaponary & imagination ;P

Damn, Instinct, y'all have GOT to get together with Hubby and me sometime! I was thinking I was the only soul left who liked Amaretto Sours!
Still, what with my SEC upbringing and all, I do also appreciate a good beer and fine Kentucky sippin' whiskey--just not all at the same time.
If life ever puts you on IH-10 in Texas, you MUST holler!
