One more week, and now it really is!

Since KLM was so kind to let me know on Tuesday my sweets would not arrive this week, I decided to leave KLM behind. I do not want to wait for a last minute chance to have them travel together. I would only hear 48 hours in advance if they will travel. And I don't want to live with this uncertainty. I had the feeling KLM either does not want to carry them, or a charity organisation decided to collect a full rescue shelter to get those dogs to Holland to be adopted. I never understood why people get stray dogs to here, but... that would mean I should doubt myself to do the same with 2 cats.... ;-) I just think dogs are usualy more complicated since they carry more diseases and inherited problems. And, last but not least, have more need to be trained and socialised as youngsters than cats do, who are more independent. I personaly would never get a stray dog from afar... even if this sounds so hypocrite. I know...

So I applied for Lufthansa once more, and if I only did earlier, they would have been here now sleeping on my footend.... But destiny may have wanted it to happen this way. Now my sweets will arrive on August 28th for sure. They are booked, Lufthansa is lots more flexible than our angry blue bird... It is only a pitty my kitties will have a much longer journey now. Which I think they will be looked after much better anyway.

I can get ready for them! And not to worry about Lorelei in the meantime, because they will arrive later on the last day. And in the worse case, I leave earlier on Sunday. I just checked the common cargo schedule, and their primal travel schedule is leaving Cairo at 4.30 in the morning to Frankfurt, where they will switch planes to Amsterdam. To arrive there most likely at 14.10... Or the next flight at 17.50. So... it will mean I have to miss a bit of Lorelei, depending on how I retrieve the cats. I heard from people that the handover can either be at the airport, or at the airport shelter at Lufthansa cargo where transit cats/dogs await their connecting flight, or at Hoofddorp where long term transitions stay, as well as pets waiting to travel.

They will most likely not arrive at 22.05 as I thought, because this is the humane connection via Munchen, and all living animals enter EU or Germany via Frankfurt at all time. Now they fly with an cargo only plane. And if I only never considered using KLM, they sure would have been here now, to spend 4 whole free days with me. But as I said, it must have a reason. I know within 4 weeks I have holidays, and I am gloriously happy UK is stopping its ridicilous quarantaine restrictions from january 1st, so whenever my kitties love to travel, they will be entering the magical world of Avalon with me next year! Now only find a place where they allow my cats, because at Tor Down I am quite sure they won't. 

At last, some living soul to look after come to my life again. After this 4 months of loneliness. I know they will make me happy. Though I do have this nasty feeling about Grey. I don't know why, but I have got the feeling that especially Tiger will come here with a mission.
In a dream I had this week, she was the joyfull kitty, walking by my side. While Grey was a almost white invisible cat in the background. As if he was an angelic cat. I really hope that doesn't mean he will die. I know this can be explained in many ways. I guess he is a little more the lazy relaxed cat of the two, and that little Tiger is just the clown of them. But it doesn't make me love Grey any less. They will both get all the attention I can give (not that they need, because I simply cannot be there for them 24/7. And I am really worried and curious to how they would handle this. For Egyptian Maus are cats that are extremely loyal and commited to the one they decided to be their human... I cannot force them to choose me, and I don't know if they can handle all this time they have to spend alone, as I cannot permit them to go out during the day. But only experience will tell the truth. I know my life is fully developing and the urge to fill my life different is very strong. They will not suffer :-)

Well... we wait another week or so, and then... finally after 17 weeks, they enter my life!

HAPPY!!
