Well D dropped Curly Top off at my parents house before I got home from work so we could do the whole cat thing without her ... she wouldn't have known what was going on really but it just made the whole process easier ...
Now I was ready to let him go ... up until I got home ... then I started to question our choice ... but at the same time I knew it had to be done ...
I easily loaded him in his carrier ... he cried and meowed all the way there ... and pissed in the car ...
once they saw him and heard he was violent towards our child they told me he would have to be put down ... they weren't going to try and get him adopted ... I told them I agreed with that assessment ...
and then I started crying ...
I may have never been that close to him because he never liked me ... but it was still very sad ... knowing I had to make this choice for another living creature ...
The guy at the shelter was so so so nice about it ... if you bumped into him on the street you would have thought he was some bad-ass rough and tough guy ... when truly he stood there in front of me with a heart of gold ...
I just lost it as I turned to walk to the door ...
the house was weird without him ... no one at the door as we came in from the backyard ... no begging for food during dinner ... no scratching on the bedroom door during the night ... no one bugging me for food first thing in the morning ...
I know I agreed to no more pets but I don't know how long I will last ... I love having a cat in the house ...
Granted the money we will be saving will be helpful ...
but a loving cat that wants to be around you and cuddle ... is so very nice ...
I am actually just missing Harley all over again and he has been gone for 9 years now ...
