Well, Mr. Huber disappeared during a major snowstorm on February 23. We were a little concerned, but not much, since he has gone wandering for several days at a time before. On March 1, when he still hadn't shown up, I put an ad on Craigslist. Still nothing. Just about the time we had resigned ourselves to the fact that he either had another home or something had happened to him, I got an email!!! This past Monday, March 7, some folks Kitty lovers - they have 5 cats & 2 dogs!) were bringing their daughter to dancing lessons and a cat approached them in the parking lot of the studio. (This place is about a mile from us.) They asked around and no one claimed him, so they brought him home, checked Craigslist, and contacted me. Tuesday, Little Man's Grandfather and I went to their house and WOO HOO, it was our long lost boy!!!!!
I decided that I had given everyone a chance to adopt this darling boy and no one stepped forward, so home he came with me Tuesday night. Little Man's Father agreed. We made a vet appointment for him and Thursday he went to see our wonderful, kitty-loving vet. The good news is that he does not have feline leukemia, so we went ahead with shots and an operation. He is 9.5 lbs and about 1.5 to 2 years old. He is now home recuperating and starting to meet the rest of the troops. This AM, he and Clovis spent some time together and actually touched noses! Binky and Raquel will be harder, but hopefully we will all adjust eventually to being a 4 cat house (heaven help us!) instead of 3.
