Title: Remember foster cat Coco?
Post by: Gillian Harvey on March 05, 2011, 00:04:59 AM: She is the chocolate BSH who arrived with her 3 chocolate kittens - the coco pops! :evillaugh: . That was back in October, the kittens were all rehomed eventually, but she's still with me - however, she has a lovely new home to go to, what a lucky girl, she will have a beautiful house and acres of garden to explore, and a lovely owner, who I'm sure is going to spoil her rotten!

Here she is the evening, watching me on the computer ;D and the second pic is one my friend took.

We had lots of interest in her - but not from the right people ;) until this lovely lady came along and Coco was like putty in her hands lol! ;D . She came to see her several weeks ago, but was having building work done and wanted to get that finished before Coco arrived.

Well I did cry :'(

It was quite a good journey, considering Coco is quite a nervous, sensitive little soul, and it was about a 45 min drive. She stressed a bit to start with, but soon settled (well, resigned herself I think). When we got there she hopped straight out of the carrier on shot under the kitchen table on one of the chairs, and stayed there for all the time I was there (had a cup of tea and a chat, just so she could hear a familiar voice etc). She was quite calm and it helped that the lady is really calm and quietly spoken too.

Anyway, I've had an email from her today - and seems she's settling quite well, eating fairly ok, and the lady has been able to stroke her (which, when you know how nervous Coco is, is really good news ;D ) She's also been moving around the kitchen and has even sat on the kitchen table to look out the window at the birdies in the garden :)

I do miss her :( I stayed for about an hour to settle her in, and only just kept it together as I was leaving - made it to the car and the floodgates opened! Its so hard, its brilliant she's got such a lovely home, but it broke my heart to say goodbye.

I still miss her though, but am guessing she ain't missing me at all - so am happy really ;)
