Thinking of you here too, just popped in to see how things were going before going to OH's parents for dinner, wil be back later for an update!!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2009, 17:14:05 PM »

Glad things went smoothly.

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #36 on:** January 04, 2009, 15:34:33 PM »

I'm so happy for you and for Buster

Wibblechick · « **Reply #35 on:** January 04, 2009, 15:12:30 PM »

If we are all excited and emotional about this, I can imagine you must be having some very mixed emotions. Thinking of you ....

MrsR · « **Reply #34 on:** January 04, 2009, 15:07:41 PM »

Yes I think Jameson has guided you too hunnie

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #33 on:** January 04, 2009, 15:02:25 PM »

Not long to go now can imagine your feelings are mixed but Jameson has def guided you to Buster I am sure of it

tigerbaby · « **Reply #32 on:** January 04, 2009, 14:57:20 PM »

I had a call 20 min ago from Sandplangham - they will get here for about 4pm so will update you as soon as I get back on the laptop!

It feels very emotional and weird putting Jamesons bowls, and bowl mat out again... I've already had a fair amount of cry's and feel totally emotional. Still I look forward to holding Buster and welcoming him in to his new forever home!

Oh, and he is very good - apparently have been sleeping most of the way

JackSpratt · « **Reply #31 on:** January 04, 2009, 14:56:47 PM »

Not yet - he should arrive at tb's at around 4ish.

I keep check the transport thread though, there's updates!

MrsR · « **Reply #30 on:** January 04, 2009, 14:23:29 PM »

I keep popping in to see if there is any news.

Christie · « **Reply #29 on:** January 04, 2009, 14:05:27 PM »

I'm so pleased for you, and look forward to hearing about Buster and how he's settling in, and of course, a piccie or 2! I know my Lily, Tink and Sammy have helped me so much with my lovely Lucia's passing. There's no way they could replace her in a million years, but they let me love and laugh kitties again.

Kirst · « **Reply #28 on:** January 04, 2009, 13:59:09 PM »

Just got back form Hols to freezing temperatures and seen this thread.................................and now I feel all warm and fuzzy

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2009, 13:47:29 PM »

Best of luck to you all. It will feel strange I am sure. Buster is a lucky cat and I am so looking forward to your updates.

Liz · « **Reply #26 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:30:33 PM »

Today will be a rollercoaster of emotions all round but it will be worth it when the new boy arrives and once again your home feels like ahome with a set of furry pawprints again encompassing your heart and taking over your life

Good luck and hope all goes well

Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) · « **Reply #25 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:42:53 AM »

I am so pleased for you two and of course Buster... He will have a lovely home and it will be so nice to have a cat around the place. I have had cats since I was born (they were in the house before me) so have had to say goodbye to a few furry loved ones and although I worry everytime I bring a new cat into the house that it will feel strange, they are all so different that it never feels at all strange. I know you will be pleased to have him as part of the family.
I hope he settles nice and easily, although he may feel a little bewildered after all the travelling, bt I expect he will be sooo pleased to be safe and sound in a lovely, forever home.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:36:30 AM »

He will never replace your beloved Jameson, but 'Buster' will be himself and you'll love him for that

Today must be so exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. Let us know how 'Buster' gets on.

Bryony84 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:34:44 AM »

Helena, you are doing a wonderful thing in adopting Buster and I do believe that you will help each other to heal. I can't wait for updates and the all important piccies! Good luck and enjoy Busters moving in day!

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:02:35 AM »

Helena hunny

I really believe this is meant to be, infact i will go alittle further and say that i believe Jameson has sent Buster to you !
You see this all just fits nicely into place, as you say Jameson didnt have a chance to recover from his RTA there was nothing you could have done but Buster has that chance.

Buster will never replace Jameson and You wouldnt want him to either but he will help you to heal and love again.
I have felt strange each time i have got another cat after lossing one, always feeling that i will never love another cat the same way....but you do !

After lossing Star (my 1st Bridge baby) we got Marmite 2mths later, I remember feeling quiet strange towards her at first....almost resenting her bacause she was only here because Star had died but that feeling didnt last long

Sending You and Robin lots of love.............. xxxxx

Mark · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:57:53 AM »

It is also much more rewarding taking on a special needs kitty but paid back 1000 times

**TINA** · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:56:32 AM »

Good Luck

Great news
Buster will know he is special having you's & when he is recovered he will show just how much

Can i just say that we took Flora on without meeting her, just from what Jack Spratt & Nicky told us

(thanks again)
I was a excited very much but also woried, once we got her here all my wories faded away.

Look forward to pics

to you and Robin - hope all goes well! Guess its going to be a bit emotional ..... I reckon a lot of planning and ~~man~~catipulating has been going on at the Bridge .....Chloe, Mr T and I wish you all the very best and cant wait to hear how it all goes!

Janeyk · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:50:38 AM »

You must be very excited and good luck! I'm sure this will be a very special relationship for you all

Mark · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2009, 00:32:11 AM »

I bet you are excited. You will forget all the worries and just get on with it when he arrives. Looking forward to pics

maryas · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2009, 00:22:22 AM »

Helena I am sure you and Buster will be great for each other, just like me and Bonnie were pushed together when Smudge was missing. I reckon Smudge and Jameson were pushing them towards us to help the pain ease.

Looking forward to hearing great things and seeing some pics.

Love Mary x

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2009, 00:21:15 AM »

i think this is wonderful to do and that jameson will be watching over the proceedings with a paw in your hearts. he will be so proud that you are helping another cat hurt in an rta.

i am sure that buster will settle in great after he recovers from the journey and that all 3 of you will be so happy

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2009, 23:25:36 PM »

Am so excited for you

It might take him a while to settle in as I'd imagine the journey will be pretty stressful for him but once he settles down you'll see his true personality and I'm sure you'll fall in love with him, doesn't mean you'll ever love Jameson any less though

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2009, 23:03:47 PM »

Good luck! I'm sure it will be love at first sight for both parties!

It's natural to worry about not loving him as much as Jameson or that you feel you are replacing Jameson. I felt a bit like that with Mosi when I got him. I wanted him and loved him, but at the back of my mind was the fact that he wouldn't be here if Magpie was still alive, so did loving him mean I was glad Magpie wasn't here. But he wormed his way into my heart like they do, and I still love my little fluffy Magpie as much as I ever did.

tigerbaby · « **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2009, 23:01:12 PM »

Ooh thanks all!

He shall be arriving at ours sometime after 4pm so expect an update in the evening! I am quite excited now

MrsR · « **Reply #10 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:56:14 PM »

Let us know how you get on hunnie and pics asap x

JackSpratt · « **Reply #9 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:46:00 PM »

Jameson will never lose his place in your heart. It doesn't matter how many cats you care for; they're all so utterly unique that they'll each enchant you in their own individual way.

Buster is lucky to be going to two such caring people and I think if you felt a connection from just looking at his picture and details that will increase as soon as you meet. Good luck tomorrow.

sheryl · « **Reply #8 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:43:40 PM »

I am so pleased for you and Robin and of course Buster - I am sure that Jameson would want you to share your love with another furbaby.

It will be a big day for all of you and Im sure you will be full of mixed emotions - good luck and enjoy your new baby xxx

bonnielass · « **Reply #7 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:34:57 PM »

Tomorrow is going to be such an exciting day for you

and its natural to be a little bit apprehensive but im sure Jamison would be proud that your helping Buster to a new and wonderful life, and as Gwen said im sure he will be one spoilt and pampered cat, so good luck and lots of hugs

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #6 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:30:47 PM »

I have to admit I am weirdly excited and nervous for you. I know how big a step this is for you and how many mixed emotions you must have but I just know this is going to be the start of a wonderful new chapter in your furball story

Good luck for tomorrow and I shall be checking in every two minutes to see if he has arrived

Gwen · « **Reply #5 on:** January 03, 2009, 22:04:27 PM »

Such an exiting time but I understand that your apprehensive too,its only natural for you to be. Buster though is going to be one spoilt cat and hopefully he will be joining Charlies army when he arrives?

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #4 on:** January 03, 2009, 21:56:20 PM »

Good luck for tomorrow

I'm sure as soon as Buster arrives all your fears and worries will vanish ... Buster sounds like a lovely boy and he is lucky to be getting such loving "parents" as you and Robin - and you are lucky to be able to help a new furbabe recover from his trauma xxxx

Den · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2009, 21:54:35 PM »

GOOD LUCK from all of us!!!!

It's wonderful what you and Robin are both doing for little Buster

Yvonne · « **Reply #2 on:** January 03, 2009, 21:49:41 PM »

Good luck for tomorrow but relax you will make fantastic adoptive parents - Buster is so lucky.

Try not to compare as every cat is different as you know, it is likely to take Buster a few days to settle in.

Good luck.

tigerbaby · « **Reply #1 on:** January 03, 2009, 21:12:27 PM »

It feels strange & scary, but also exciting. I can't believe I have adopted a cat I've never met! That is just crazy

It took me a while to get used to the idea, but thanks to JackSpratt my mind was put at ease (several times). It is also upsetting as it is just starting to sink in that Jameson is never coming back, and I wonder how any cat will ever be as perfect as him? But as so many of you have said, all cats are unique with different personalities and characters. I think this is the right thing to do. Especially because Buster is currently recovering from a RTA and we never got the chance to help Jameson recover from his

I really feel that us & Buster can help each other to heal..... we have things in common, and recently been through trauma.

Robin is currently making space for the tray in the hallway, and I am about to take out Jamesons food bowls for Buster to have. I think Jameson would have wanted this too. I will wash J's blanket and give it to Buster. We are most likely to change his name though, to make it more personal for us.

So I will give you the full update tomorrow, as & when our new family member has arrived and settled in a little...... help...
