A FC correspondent with whom we have had several great interactions is badly needing to send a house-kitteh away-- the kitteh is sending the wife to hospital, by causing flare-ups of her auto-immune disease.... at the same time our dear Sam (our last FC-in kitteh) has not healed well from a run-in with big machinery.
... which we all feel strangely good about, as all of the details will dovetail perfectly.
No rushing-- they're boarding their departed, while we enjoy a few days with our injured (but not suffering) kitteh, and taking her in due course to the Vet Who Cares.
Same vet cares for Mouser-Katy-who-is-coming, and can transfer her health history to our file.
We net no interruption in rodentia-protection, 4 happy peeps, and 2 dogs who will share Dog World with fenced-in Katy. Katy gets a cat-door between mouse-ridden bsmt and Dog World.
