I thought of sub-letting - unfortunately no one I know can afford the rent. Also, when I come home I won't have a job so paying this rent will be a huge responsibility I don't know if I can meet.
I have been thinking about h, he knows her foibles and loves her very much and would look after her well. It is just it wouldn't be just h looking after her. I thought about it and at first I thought 'over my dead body' - it would feel like ow would have completely taken over my life and the thought of Maple being nice to her/ sleeping on their bed etc was too much. And then I thought about the fact that ow would have to be shovelling my cat's sh!t and that kinda made me smile.
The last thing I thought, which seemed to be the best thing really, was that actually she was welcome to my old life as I'm moving onto bigger and better things.
In essence (!!) I am feeling better about Mapes going to them if needs be. And Jeff you are right quarantine and aeroplanes etc would be too cruel for her, she is very nervy (except when listening to Faure’s Requiem and being stroked on her terms on the bed!! )
So, unless he did get a cat - which I'm pretty sure I would have heard about - h may be a possibility.
Speak of the devil... just arranged with h to meet on Friday lunchtime. I feel nervous! I have some challenging things to bring up. *takes some deep breaths*
