My declawed kitty has been moved into a foster home with a lady who fosters for me about 6 years ago until she fell in love with Sonic and adopted him. He died recently and she called yesterday and told me how much she missed her tuxedo kitty. He was 18 when he passed. She asked me if I had any tuxedos available, and I told her about this boy. We went to see her and I’ll be dipped if he didn’t just walk out of his carrier and go and sit on her lap! I told her he has to potential to strike out unexpectedly, but again, there are other cats here and Patsy has no kitties. She just laughed and said it was love at first sight so I don’t have to worry. She said she will be in touch if they have issues, but she doesn’t forsee any happening. When I left, he was curled up asleep in her lap.  I am not sure, but I think an adoption is looming.

Just received this email that made me smile:

Good Morning Mary Anne,

I know you had concerns about Clawdius and his first night here (do you like his name?) He has shown no aggression towards anything but the bowl of water on the floor. He tries to bathe in it! He sticks his feet in the darn thing and splashes water everywhere. I had to mop anyway this just gave me an excuse.

He slept on the bed until 6 and then I was woken by a soft pat on my forehead. His telling me it was time to get up and get fed. He is delightful and eases the ache in this old heart. I decided I am not going to foster him, I will adopt him. Please send me the proper paperwork and let’s get this done!

Thank you Mary Anne. My smile has been discovered again-
