Firstly thank you Lickleone (Shani) for remembering that Hugo is coming home tomorrow...but he is not. :Sad:

Just spoke to my husband who spoke to the plumbers who told him that the place won't be ready tomorrow as promised so they need more time. He is hoping for Monday night but nothing is set in stone. (Duh! Only a plumber can say something like that when I don't want to hear it :Laugh: ) The thought of staying in hobo-land for a weekend terrified me so I'm trying to book a cat friendly hotel. Our breeder said its best that we postpone Hugo's homecoming because obviously with his age he can get stressed easily and therefore be much more susceptible to illness which I don't want for him and him and Graddy have to have the two day quarantine period which is just not possible in the place we're in (the only door in that place is the entrance door?! ) I'm so sad but I know it's for the best and its only a couple more days to wait but I booked time off work hoping to stay home with Hugo for a couple of days. Guess they'll have to understand too. Oh well. The bright side is he is STILL coming home...eventually.

Aw :( Its so hard so hard when we build ourselves up for something and then it gets delayed. I can totally understand what you're feeling. I do think it is the right decision though to wait until you have your place back to welcome Hugo. It will be less stressful on him to not be moved too many times, but also on Graddy who will be able to have the safety of the home he loves while going through the change of welcoming a little brother. Will your work allow you to postpone your time off? If so, awesome :). If not, take that time to do something for you...spoil yourself a little bit and stay occupied to keep your mind busy. Hugo will be home before you know it! Hugs!

I'm sorry Dani.:ThumbsDown: We've been in a similar situation that you're in now. We had to spend several days in a small hotel room with 3 cats when our car broke down on our move from New Jersey to Las Vegas several years ago. It was crowded and stressful for cats and people. I could not even imagine trying to bring a kitten into that situation!:Dizzy: Hopefully the plumbers will be faster than they are predicting and your baby will be there very soon. And Graddy will accept the baby faster if he is in his own territory and not stressed in a different place. Hang in there!!!:ThumbsUp:

You're so right Mel! :Smile: its best for both Hugo and of course Graddy! I'm just scared that it won't be Monday and they'll keep moving the day. The original brother or sister of Graddy's is going to be born this week. So the breeder can't wait either because her husband is dropping Hugo off for us. I'm getting a bit of pressure from all sides.

It's a bit tough to change my leave days because a temp comes in and may not be available for the other days. I just have to keep reminding myself that it could be worse. I'll just take your advice and spoil myself :BigSmile:

Aww, I am sorry.:Sad: I was looking forward to seeing pictures of Hugo! Well, it is for the best...I would have told the plumbers I was bringing home a baby on Monday, so they better be done. HA! Hopefully they will have everything finished so you can move back home.

Awww I'm sorry you have to wait Dani, I know you were not only looking forward to Hugo coming home, but also getting back home. Hopefully you find a room for you and Graddy to stay so you can leave nasty hoboland behind. I really wish we lived closer, I've got a room you guys could have used....and I have doors! Hope the weekend passes quickly and you are home soon

Hoping the days are passing by quickly and that all the work is getting done. As you know it is for the best and you are still getting Hugo soon. I know its hard, but you are a strong girl, you can do it. Besides think of all the new stress you will have when little Hugo comes home. Cant wait to hear all about him.

I'm sorry Dani. I know how much you were looking forward to this. Look at it this way. When it's all over your pipes will be working right and you'll have another sphynxie to love on. Now let's hope the plumbers can keep their Monday deadline.
