She came back  yesterday and she may not have gotten along with Clancy, but last night, when I was previously occupied, she got out of the bedroom. I held my breath when I discovered her escape but knew she couldn’t get out of the house. This morning, she was back in the bedroom sharing the cat post with Delilah. In the photo, she is on the bottom and Delilah is on the top.

Here, she has no choice. She can’t not get along with the other cats because there are nine currently roaming the house. If she causes conflict, it will come back and haunt her because the other cats will school her. That is just their way. There has been no bloodshed and in my experience if there was going to be trouble it would have happened already.

A past adopter has contacted me and said she will pay for the ultra sound for Jet-Eye, but really, when I think about it- why put out hundreds of dollars to confirm what we already know? This kitty has a weak heart. They can’t do anything about it, so I am going to decline the kind offer. Jet-Eye will stay here unless I find someone with a big heart that wants to take a chance on a kitty with a heart murmur and a horrible allergy to dry food. He will be treated with kindness and love and want for nothing, but I still hold fast that keeping him an only kitty in the enclosure is the right call. I feel sorry for him- but again we humans often interject human feelings into cats and they just aren’t wired that way. And Life does indeed continue on-
