Just tell your honey (or better yet, have him read) what my little guy did when he missed his brother. I thought he was going to starve himself to death - and he's plump little thing!

The reason my boys were at the shelter is that their elderly owner had to give them up - her grandson was allergic to cats. They had lived with her all of those years. I could only imagine what they were going through. :sad:

I've had people ask me why I adopted two senior citizen felines. I've told everyone the same thing. I wasn't looking for anything age-specific. I was looking for companionship, and wanted a cat that would fit into my life. I love kittens but I'm the only adult here and employed full time. Kittens are like babies, and need that kind of attention, and I knew I didn't have the time. I've also said that my guys may live another decade for all I know, and if not, I've given both a good home to live out their days in. They're worth it.

I hope you get your honey convinced. It may take a bit longer, but don't be surprised when it comes very suddenly. :m_wink:

Y'know, I've heard that shelter animals know when they've been rescued, and that they're grateful. I can honestly say that's true. Like I said, that first night with House I barely got any sleep. It was "roll, purr, rub, roll, purr, meow, rub, rub, roll, purr..." all. Night. Long. LOL

Bless you, hon. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!
