Good-bye, Patches

Patches has been adopted!  We took him to his new home today.  He'll be an only-cat there, and have his human completely to himself...  although he did well with other cats, I suspect that he secretly wished for more one-on-one attention, so I think that this should please him immensely.  I happen to know that he's in a really good home,  because he's going to go live with my mother-in-law!   I was secretly hoping for this to happen all summer, and was thrilled when she told us that she would like to adopt him.  I mean, he gets his own home, one that I can feel good about sending him to AND we'll get visiting rights!  How much better does it get than that?



So, good-bye and good luck to you, Patches.  You were a good napping buddy while we had you here.  I will miss you!  But this is the very best kind of good-bye that there could be.

  1. Yay Patches! When my people adopted me, the shelter people thought that I'd love being an only-dog even though I did well with my foster siblings. They were right :)

  9. That is wonderful! Me thinks Patches will be happy! If me could not live with my Mommy and Daddy, Me would live with our friend Gayle. I could be a only cat, but still see Mommy and Daddy!
