But what about part 4? I'm ready! As soon as you get your new shelter cats it will be here yes?

Heh, heh... I'm ready too. But with all the prep work I have to do,
and the questions I need answered, it'll be (I'm guessing) three to
six months before I'll be off to the shelter.

You have no idea what shape this place is in. We've just pulled
up some 40-year-old shag carpet on the stairs and second floor
landing. Underneath is some gorgeous oak flooring.

(Yes, the people we bought from were idiots.) Also underneath
the carpet was/is 40-year-old carpet padding, adhesive, and
nails. Somehow it's got to be removed, without wrecking the
wood underneath.

That's for starters. Add the 40-odd years of my wife's packratting,
furniture I want to get rid of, and a few things I've forgotten.

We're not talking tomorrow here.

It's understandable. Don't worry too much! You'll be a fine cat owner I'm sure of it You had that one for years (the crazy one) and things went fine with her!
