Looking to His Future

I had these images of Horace left over after his departure yesterday for his new home. I didn’t have time to make a blog-entry about them, so I will use them to illustrate the first report I’ve had about him. 

From the rescue-group colleague who took him to his new home, it seems that Ivory has struck gold. A middle-aged couple who own their own house, Horace’s new people have arranged cats-trees everywhere. Holes have been cut, with decorative arches, in walls at heights that allow Horace and his new roommate to walk from room to room without ever coming to the floor, if they so desire.

This will suit Horace very well, I think. As you can observe, he enjoyed viewing the outdoors – though he never expressed a desire to return there. In a house, he will have prospects in every direction and his pastime of chirping at the birds will no doubt be indulged.

I will, as promised, keep readers updated as I receive information that can be passed on. I have no doubt that, despite some inevitable confusion over his change of residence, Horace will very swiftly come to love his new home, and his new people come to love him.

  1. They sound like people who'll make every effort to make Horace happy. I'll miss reading about him, but I hope he has very many wonderful years in his new home. I'm anxious to hear if he gets along with his new adopted sibling.

    By the way, will his new cat-parents still call him "Horace," or do they have a different name picked out for him? I hope it's the former; the name fits him so well, somehow.

  9. This is great news for Horace. And here you are off on your sick leave and seeing him off to a new home at the same time. I sometimes imagine he stares out into the cold and snow only having thoughts of how bad it used to be on the outside and how good it is on the inside.

  14. Hello John, this is a question just to you that can answer on rriley110@gmail.com if you can or want. I have tried to view pilch92 and catladymac but their blog icons do not take me to them. I found pilch92 at 15andmeowing.com once, but now my overly smart PC says it is an unsecure site and I can not go back. Any advice? I like to to answer back the nice folks who post to me. Thanks Lynn
