Oh no!

Jones has a home!

Obviously this has all been organised by someone who was neither me nor Mr Brammers as we have been spending all our time playing with him, but – tragically – it is a lovely young cat-centric chap who is living in his first house without a cat and not coping and has a small Jack Russell living with him who is also missing living with a cat. The dog belongs to one of the housemates (three young lads, all cat loving) and they all think the cat should be an indoors cat until they have a cat run outside and think that it would be a good idea to desex him as soon as it is medically a good plan. And he has enough money for vet bills. I may have interrogated him a little.

I can't come up with a single reason why Jones shouldn't go to live with this lovely young chap. Aside from the fact we just love him, but he will have more fun there than here, and our cats will have more calm without him. Bugger!

Monster the cat has an inkling and is writing us a thank you note even as I type*.

He goes on Thursday, so this will be one of the last kitten pix:



*By which I mean purring and not vomiting up her cat food in the bedroom doorway. She's not technically literate, but she is very expressive.

Oh, this is very sad! I mean, sure, it's inconvenient with a kitten, but aren't they just so awesome?!!

I hope he's very happy in his new place.

Aww, bittersweet. <3 Jonesey

Aw, I'll miss the beautiful pictures of him! It's good to hear that he's going to a good home, though.

I hope that you all don't cry too much! *hug*

That is a good thing you are doing. Little Jones is a beautiful boy. He will be Only Cat for a lonely man. And he will have a dog friend.

Good for you.

He looks amazingly like my Gertrude, whose real name is Snowflake, because she looks like she has one on her nose. Otherwise, very similar.

It's actually much better for cats to be indoor animals. Safer, healthier, better and longer lives. My first cat was outdoor until I moved, then was strictly indoor for the rest of his life with no issues at all. While he was outdoor, he had ticks, fleas, and car grease all over once. Much nicer inside.

Since I doubt Monster managed to do it, who was the evil person who found Jones his lovely new home?

And will they call him Jones?

Aw, I suspected you'd fall in love with him, he's such a cutie.
Congratulations on finding him a good home. Men who love cats are especially nice to them. (I know what I'm talking about, my brother is a total cat lover who attracts strays wherever he turns up :D)

Leo, who's purring loudly at my left shoulder, is seconding Monster's approval. *chuckles*
And Oilily, who's sitting at my feet looks happy, too.

Congrats and my condolences. *lip wibble* What a beautiful little boy, with his white toes. D'aww. At least you got to steal some time with him before you had to rehome him. It's a great outcome.
I"d love to see pics of Jones and the new dog-brother together!

Another gorgeous photo! He really is a stunner - those chaps who are going to live with him are so lucky! I love how thoroughly you interviewed his new responsible adult :)

[shu-shu-sleeps.livejournal.com]

Both a sad and a positive thing..... But the remaining unanswered question is with the nice boy provide you (and us) with ongoing Jones updates? And good on you for interviewing a prospective cat owner properly :)

Doing the right thing can be painful.

But rewarding. Insert appropriate Dumbledore quotation ad libitum.

Awww.... such a sweet face! I would hate to let him go, too! But it sounds like you'll be doing a good thing by helping the nice young chap have a kitty of his own to love:)

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

D:

I would not be able to surrender a kitty after as long as you've had him.

*is all sad for you*

[anna-wing.livejournal.com]

Condolences! Though the new home sounds nice, and I assume that if there is a problem the new chap will be willing to bring Jones back.
