Poor kitty
I have to give Sparky away, or rather, find him a new home. Tomorrow he is going to live *temporarily* with my Mom. She's not the best animal caretaker, and probably won't care for him the way I do (doling out his food in 1/4 c. increments so he doesn't puke it up all over the place, mainly), but at least its not the pound-which the ones locally are overcrowded, and if they are no kill shelters, cannot take anymore.
:(
Jack at least gave me this week to find him a home. I sort of hope Mom will fall in love with him and keep him. Its pretty indefinite, our timeline once he's with Mom. He's 8 1/2 years old, so he's getting up there for kitties plus he's 18 lbs!! Tonight he was sleeping on his side on the seat of the chair (a newer habit for him, as he has usually slept on the back of the chair for the last two years) and he let me scratch his belly for like five minutes, which is also something he doesn't usually do.
I am going to miss my kitty.
Oh yeah, the reason I have to get rid of him is that Jack went to the allergist last week. He mistakenly took an antihistamine (out of habit) at bedtime the night before, and the only thing he reacted to was pet dander. He asked whathe could do, and the allergist said to get rid of kitty immediately. No other options were given, and of course, Jack didn't ask for other options. I did put my foot down and say that we are absolutely NOT GETTING RID OF THE DOG if it is recommended. Jack said that was fine. I told him that I am already heartbroken about Kitty (our other name for Sparky), and to take my dog away would kill me. Jack knows that.
So, I had a week cause jack's been outta town this whole week. He's coming back tomorrow. I managed to get tomorrow off of work, with the flex time I have put in, but I KNOW I will get calls. It alaways happens, thats how my job is. I just deal with it. Phone calls are easy to deal with.
Okay, its time for me to go to bed as its 12:30 at night. BTW-jay Leno was freaking funny tonight!!!
