Reconsideration

So after some careful consideration, I've reached a decision I don't like.

It's the problem you have when you go heart when you should go head. When you let "awwww.... so cute!" factor into your decision-making process. Yeah, I made a mistake.

The World's Cutest Kitten has been in my care since Monday. Since then, I've spent very little time with her and alienated my dog and cat -- although Roscoe is starting to come around. Anyway, Cassie, who has been with me since July 5, 1999, deserves better. She won't even come near me and ignores me. Roscoe, who I've had since January 2002, isn't nearly as offended as Cassie, but isn't quite sure what to make of little miss Haley.

Haley needs to find a home. It doesn't help that the roommates weren't thrilled with her; they said I should find her a new home. I'm not doing this for them; I'm doing it for Haley, who deserves better than what I can currently provide, and for Cassie, who was first and has been through A LOT with me. And for Roscoe, who is such a good dog and really doesn't need to compete with a kitten for my attention. He and Cassie have a good thing in terms of the way they play and interact; Haley throws it off a little bit.

I'm upset because I made a bad decision that affected my two most loyal companions, and a wonderful kitty who shouldn't be confined.

Don't talk to me about how it takes the better person to admit they're wrong. I know that. I just didn't expect to be as upset about deciding to give up a kitten that's been in my life since Monday.

Fucking softie.
