Stop in for a cup of coffee

morning

I have a bittersweet trade going on here so not sure which emotions are running

Karen ...my little black cat is not really having a good time here and she is too small to be a barn/outside cat. I suspect she is arthritic and she is a fragile cat .......almost too fragile for the environment here.

on the other side of town, one of my cousins...a female cousin has a cat named cooper and he is a male cat and a huge cat. Due to the environment in the city, the cat stays inside a mud room/ basement. He has to stay in there while she is at work and as a result he is bored and tearing the place up and pooping all over because he has too much canned energy.

so we are thinking its smartest to move Karen over there where she will be indoors more and wont get cold with the garage door opening and closing and be disturbed with the noise I make. ...and we are thinking of bringing cooper over here because we think he is a big boy who can handle it and he can release his energy by running and hunting in the barn ....he may actually get a fresh meal (mice) for the first time in a loooooong time.

it sounds good on paper but actually loading Karen up to go bye bye .....kinda bothers me because she is a good kitty. When I am feeling sad about I think that I am getting Cooper ....he is a good kitty as well. ...its just kinda hard to make change

Your doing what's best for them. At least she's local and not going to a stranger where you cant see her again... Does Cooper have siblings named Michelin and Goodyear?
