Could this be no. 4 for MCW...?

  1. So - I call in at the vets on my way home from work to collect a new sack of cat food, and they ask me if I might be interested in a cat they're looking after for the Cats Protection League...he's ginger & white...

    Could it be Harry? (I've always wanted a ginger & white called Harry)...

    So - I agree to meet him just quickly and then maybe have possible divorce inducing discussions with Mr MCW...I walk into the hospital section and go up to the cage...

    It's Harry!!! And what a lovebug. Recovering from an anaesthetic after a dental, but purring, head-bonking, tummy rubbing, the works. I think I'm in trouble...

    So I register possible interest (the lady receptionist thinks someone else has too) and come home to phone Mr MCW (who, suprise suprise is out at a football match) to lay the groundwork for a proper talk later...

    He tells me to ring the vet and regsiter DEFINITE interest to try and push things along! - we'll talk about the finer details later!!!

    (I think he may have slept with Cheryl Cole today, he was in an amazingly good mood!!!)

    So - we may be getting cat number 4!!! He's a stray, aged somewhere between 6-10 (I figure closer to the 10 mark myself), and if we home him direct from the vets we at least save an adoption fee, and the vets would vouch for us being very good cat people.

    Squeeeeee!!!!!

  10. Awww love Ginger and White kitties, ok I have 3 of them, and one flame-point :) And just love the name of Harry and being an older gent he already shows good taste with reaching out for you even coming out from under anesthesia (?). And funny thing, all my orange babies have found me rather than me finding them....literally 3 of them have walked into the house and decided it was home so move over guys!

  11. Wonderful news for Harry! Good for you and Mr. MCW being sensitive to this cat's need. And obviously, Harry is a very kind soul full of loving to give.

  12. Hee hee, thanks everybody. Remember, it's not a done deal yet, there may this other person who has first say...and I'd want to do a meeting between Harry & Button on neutral territory (I'm not thinking they'll run up and kiss each other, but as long as they don't KILL each other I know it'd work out)...so it's fingers crossed at this stage!!! Let's have some of those famous TDK positive vibes!!!

  13. Oh, MCW, it just has to be. Orangies are really great. Sammy picked us out too.

  14. Wow - awesome!!!! But maybe you should name him Cheryl?

  15. Thst would surely confuse the cat and be potentially dangerous if Mr MCW has one too many one evening!!!

  16. Harry!!Harry!!! How awesome!!! I hope you can get him MCW! I think it was meant to be :)

  18. A new member which makes four! Oh I hope you get approved MCW. Harry sounds like an absolute lovebig of a kitty.

  19. Well Harry sounds beautiful! I think he will make a fine addition--Mr. MCW is no fool--he knows a good cat when he hears about one!

  20. YAY! It sounds like you have yourself a "Harry" kitty coming home with you! How lucky the kitty will be, I think Bones sent him to you. Yay for Mr. MCW for even considering this! Keep us posted!

  21. Marvelous! I hope Harry becomes your number 4! If Mr. MCW starts wavering, I can bribe him with another sack of dum dum's!

  22. Yay Harry! We'll have to have a welcome Harry party when he comes home. Any excuse for a party! He sounds wonderful even when coming out of anaesthetic.

  23. I would like to apply for a clone of Mr.MCW, please. Where's the sign up line?

  24. Mr MCW has read this thread and is getting very big headed!!!

  25. today was my first venture in Petsmart after Velvet's passing. I saw a mostly white 2 year old boy cat i'd love to have. but me thoughts are it's too early, i need a kitty closer to Spice's age or 2 kitten mates so Spice is left alone, my finances need to be better, i need to be back to work full time for the finance situation to heal and grow strong...

  26. It's hard to know the right time emotionally, practically and financially isn't it? Part of my thinking is Harry could perhaps be a jointly owned cat with Mum, which might help her after losing Bones. We absorbed a lot of his day to day costs, so know we could afford #4, but every little helps!

  27. Oh, MCW, wouldn't that be awesome if everything worked out and you could adopt Harry! I'm crossing everything!!!

  28. UPDATE : phone call from the vets this morning, the other interest has fallen through and we're going to meet Harry with Button at 5pm tonight!

    Posted 2 years ago by MadcatwomanintheUK #

  29. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
    that's 12 pm here...Oh I will make sure to be checking to see how the meeting went....Oh I hope you can get Harry!!!
