And it's blowing up in my face. Oye Vey I should know better.
My daughter has emotional problems and really wanted a cat. She hasn't been able to go to school due to her anxiety and panic attacks. We have found that being around cats really helps her stress level. So, we have been doing the rounds trying to find a cat. A number of the local rescues have cats in the Petco's or PetSmarts around here.
Last week my daughter found a cat that she really bonded with; the info on the door says the cat would NOT do well with dogs --- we have two dogs. The way our house is set up my daughters room is an area that used to be an apartment when previous owners owned the house. So there are two doors between her living space and the main house. The plan is to have the cat live there and no contact with our dogs.
So, I lied and said we didn't have any dogs....(BIG STUPID MISTAKE). I listed our references - my mom and sister. I told them not to tell them we had any animals. They called my mom and she said we had a dog a few years ago that died a natural death(true)...... Thinking she was just letting them know what a wonderful family we were to a past animal. My mom didn't realize that the process of these groups is to contact your vet to see if you were a responsible animal owner (we are). So, now they are going to ask for my vet number and KAPOOOIE
My stupidity to lie has just blown up in my face and my daughter is going to loss out on a cat she has emotionally bonded with now.....I just want to vomit!!!! I'm so mad at myself.
