It took me 3 days to finally garner the courage to call someone from the Cats Welfare Society website for a cat put up for adoption...
very tough 3 days.... I cant help but put the blame on myself for the death of Cookie...
I do not know if I am ready for another Cat... to give my heart away... when 1 part had died off...
But seeing Creamie mopping around the room everyday is just too painful... still I hesitated...
When I finally decided to call... the owner decided not to give it up cos her son cant bear to... haiz... the cat was very similar to cookie in terms of colour, temperament, and even sleeping posture...
So for the next few days I was researching on how to integrate different cats, of different age, gender, temperament etc....
In fact, a Ginger cat caught my eyes... Mei was really kind to go with me to the viewing at Yishun... it was lovely! Mother & son... but the fostered wanted to give away the 2 together... they have been through alot & she couldnt bear to separate them....
She also cautioned me that Creamie may be alittle too active for a 2mths old kitten... got me very worried & I had to ask Cat Welfare Volunteer Raymond to help gauge if Creamie is too active for a 10 mths old female..... he actually told me that Creamie is vey smart (She showed off her FETCHING Skills to Raymond! kekek!) , that her temperament is very good & independent... will do fine with a young 2mths.... phew!!
So he will go convince the Foster.... I will wait till I get back from HKG/MACAU before final decision...
To end off the whole thing, Raymond gave me some very good pointers on kitty care... & for the past week, I finally feel so much better to hear this from him:
"Soya, I know it's difficult for you to lose your Cookie that way... but dun beat yourself up for it... think of what you can do to prevent future mishaps. I can tell that you are a good mummy... trust me, I have beening volunteer work for years & looking at the condition of ur hse n Creamie, I want you to know that you have done a fantastic job... Creamie obviously adores you as her Mummy, she is happy to be under your care, healthy and well mannered... you have provided them with the best you can... let's move on & we can find you another cat, so that your abundance love can be shared!"
My tears welled up but I refused shed them... for the past week, this was the most comforting words I have heard...
