1797.0. "New R.I. residents..." by SKIVT::P_MARGOLIS (Paula Beth) Tue Sep 27 1988 13:31

    I finally am going to be with my fiance!  I got a job in Shrewsbury
    and will be moving from my home in Burlington sometime around the
    end of October.  Now that I'm going to be so close, maybe I can
    finallly meet some of you.  
    
    Anyway, I am a really lonesome "cat Mom" right now.  I thought it
    best to make the kitties "disappear" while I am trying to sell,
    so my dear little furfaces are at my fiance's in Cranston, R.I.
    They would have had to make the long commute shortly anyway.  Steve
    says they're doing wonderfully.  But I miss them so.  It's kind
    of lonely opening the front door and having noone to greet you after
    a long day.  And I even miss them waking me up for a cuddle in the
    middle of the night!
    
    Well, thanks for letting me talk.  I knew you'd all understand.

1797.1	WAAAA!!! I miss my boys!!	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Tue Sep 27 1988 14:28`	11
	Hi PB, Boy, do I know how you feel! I travel alot and the worse part (other than airline food) is that I miss my boys like crazy. It's really hard now that I've got the 5 little ones and Meg, too, cause I enjoy playing with them all. During the winter, I've always got Chauncey snuggled up beside me and Honey at the foot of the bed, and even tho' they wake me up occasionally, it's nice falling back to sleep to the sound of purrs...

1797.2	yeah...	EDUC8::TRACHMAN	E.T.'s ZhivagoCats....DTN: 264-8298	`Tue Sep 27 1988 14:53`	5
	I understand - I complain about the bed being too full with 15 of them, but when one is not home (at a vet) it's like the house is empty! E.T.

	>best to make the kittens "disappear" while I am trying to sell, When I sold my previous home, the realtor that the kitties made the place seem more homey, and that that could help sell the place. Deb
1797.4	A Feature of the House?	SKIVT::P_MARGOLIS	Paula Beth	`Wed Sep 28 1988 12:05`	12
	Deb, Interesting comment by your realtor. How did it work? I know many people who are allergic to cats (or think they are ;')) who wouldn't even think of buying the place if they saw cats. Others will be weary of cathairs or possible droppings on the carpet. It's so easy to keep the place clean now. No litter tracking and no cathairs on the carpets. I think it's all for the best. BUT I MISS THEM!
1797.5	If the house is immaculate, it's a feature!	EDUC8::TRACHMAN	E.T.'s ZhivagoCats....DTN: 264-8298	`Wed Sep 28 1988 12:35`	12
	When I sold my house in Westford, MA, the only stipulation was that EVERY time they showed the house I HAD TO BE THERE. I never hid the cats - at that time I only had 6 !! Most of them took off for parts unknown - but a few of them could be seen. It was no problem at all ever. Most people like cats - they knew that I would be taking them with me and the house was VERY clean - almost everyone that looked at the house played with the kitties that would let them. I, too, think it is a feature! E.T.

	the place went on the market on a Tuesday and I by Saturday I had 3 offers (one full price, one for $1500 over my asking price). As it turns out, it sold it to a person very allergic to cats, and as a condition of sale I had to have it steam cleaned after I moved my stuff out (Sears did it for $97). Deb
