Isn't it the 16th? Glad I'm not the only one that does that. :lol:

Thanks for correcting me. Rough day at work and I am mad at my brothers. We are clearing out my parents house this weekend and in two weeks I will be taking my moms cats and putting them in kitty prison. One room until the die. It breaks my heart and my own crew will not have access to their favorite room in the house. Upsetting just thinking about it. I've had two different couples offer to take the cats only to call and renege with the excuse that they were drunk when they offered. Is that really a good excuse for poor behavior. My mother used to fret about what would happen to her cats and my brothers would torment her about it. Now my brother and his wife are saying that they are going to get "their own cat" instead of take these. Nice!

Aww hon, keep trying to find them a home, something will come up. I'll be so glad when I get a place of my own, cats like that won't have to worry about a home. I just can't put any more in a 1 bedroom apt. :sad:
That's quite a PMPS, what did you do about it?

I'm so sorry to hear that about your mom's cats. I'll keep good thoughts and fingers crossed that something will come up for them. My mom had a good friend that was terminally ill, and that was one of her biggest worries. Luckily, her little sweetie was able to go to a good home.

Have you thought about trying to integrate your mom's cats into your crew? I'd be more than happy to share all my tricks of the trade if you want. Since I have 16 living in 850 sq ft, I have a pretty decent success rate. Now granted not all of mine are BFFs but there is no blood shed either. In 40 years I've only had 1 that I couldn't integrate. Most cats get a bad rap about being antisocial by nature when in fact ferals form very close knit groups.
Are your mom's cats males or females? Or a mix? And are they bonded to each other? Bonded pairs are usually easier to assimilate than loners. Since they already have a kinship with another of their own species.
Its not always easy to do and you have to have kinda a thick skin to some of the establishing of pecking order. But it can almost always be done. And a better option than trying to keep everyone separate.
If you want to try and need help just let me know. I'm sure your mom would be happy to know her furkids are with her family that will love them like she did. I think my mom hung on as long as she did waiting for her Divine Miss M to cross first. But had she not Miss M would have been #17

I can integrate the female. She is actually the mother of my Emmylou, not that they will remember each other. She is very calm like her daughter. The boy is a large orange striped, long-haired bad-ass dunce. He is the brother to my Emmylou. He is one of those who will turn and attack your hand if you pet or scratch him down his back one too many times. He is a precious sweet monster to people though. There will certainly be blood-shed and certain death and vet bills should he come into contact with my 4 year old males and Alska who are constantly fighting for dominance. I would have three males who would all attack each other at the same time if it came to it and Alska would get caught in the fray. I can't risk that. I am trying to convince the people who want him but are afraid of losing their house to take him until they do - it would buy me some time. I have two sister friends who both lost cats last year but I think they are looking to catch a stray or get younger cats. I was working on them before Christmas but they don't seem interested. It's such a sad situation. If it were just the female, I could integrate but not with Goofus around.

The bank window teller wants the boy cat. She is going on vacay for 3 weeks so we will work on her when she gets back. May only have to integrate the momma cat whom my brother said is actually the fighter of the two. I think the fact that she is female may cause my boys to leave her alone.
