Really upset all day. Don't like arguing with Bonnie.
She came home and said much the same thing.
"Honestly", she said, "I was really upset all day, it was like a relationship was over."
So we're friends again. I told her about new arrangements for cat. She seemed ok with it.
Then later, "How can you bear to give up the cat?"
Well, not best pleased but under the circumstances....
"She's your cat; she's bonded with you. It seems cruel somehow to just give her away."
Does this make me feel any better? I love my cat.
"I don't know what was wrong with my idea. I keep her for most of the time but when I'm with Durham, you come and fetch her and sneak her into that student place."
At least she didn't say she was being magnanimous; plus she's very fond of Ella too. I can't stay here when she's away because "Ian will be with friends and I don't want to come home to a mess."
Huh! Ian won't be with friends and she'll come home to his mess but I said nothing.
And I don't want to give up Ella. So, think I will phone J and say I've changed my mind. J may be put out but I think she really wants a kitten.
Burning boats?
I'm not sure about sneaking cat into student house either. It's alright for Miss Fierce-from-the-Gorbals Bonnie but I'm a quiet, unassertive person. Even the dog thinks I'm a wimp who needs protecting. I might just take cat to Lemonie's for those times. It's only for nine months and then I get my house back to sell or not sell, who knows.
Re dog. So far, no phone call, police visit or legal summons.
But it's only been three days!
