Cancers and Their Cats

Big adoption day today at work! I think we adopted out nine cats - possibly a record for a Saturday. It was exhilarating to see them going to what appear to be very good homes! I was also able to do some phone counseling, which I absolutely love, and I think was able to talk a woman out of trying to surrender her eleven-year-old diabetic cat.

The adoption coordinator noticed that half of the adoptors today were Cancers. The two co-workers that happened to be in the room with me at the time we were having this discussion are also Cancers. I have been feeling the itch ALL DAY to adopt another cat so that Harrison isn't so lonely. Um, I'm a Cancer too. I need to look at the horoscopes today to see if there is something to this. Anyway, I also wonder how many Cancers are working at Tree House. I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few of us. We Cancers do love our animals, and are very nurturing people.

A cat came in today that was surrendered by his owners after TWELVE years due to her child developing allergies. He had originally been adopted from the shelter and our policy allows them to be returned if they orignially came from there. I felt so bad for him. He was quite understandably scared and angry. Since I've been volunteering in the isolation wards in the evenings I was able to spend some time with him. Luckily he ate something while I was there after not having touched his food or water all day. So hard. Anyway, you can tell that my wheels are already spinning. Dave and I had a long conversation over dinner about it. So many factors to weigh...

Ah well, maybe my horoscope tomorrow will be more sensible! I could maybe use a little rational thinking? A little decision-making with my head instead of my heart? Or is it an on-going Cancer thing? Something that isn't going to go away with the next new moon or eclipse? Like feeling the need to have another child. I guess we'll find out.
