Hiss! Spit!!

Kitties and pawrents: I ordered a new tall wall unit to hold the TV and etc. It was delivered yesterday and as soon as the men walked out (without fully assembling the thing..said it wasn't their job tho I paid 100.00 for that extra) I saw that the console part was damaged. So, I called their customer service. A new one will be here by next Thursday!!! AND the so-called bridge between the tall bookcases is also damaged so a new one of THOSE will be brought too.

Why am I saying this? Because I WAS...emphasis on was going looking for a new fur baby today as I assumed that yesterday my boy could put in and hook up everything (good supper for him as reward) and bolt the tall piers or bookcases to the wall so a rowdy cat teenager or a little older couldn't topple them all over leaping up and down. They are all standing on soft carpet and rock faintly when pushed. Better be safe than sorry. So as 2/3's of this ensemble is defective and will need to be exchanged out..my hunt for MY special fur baby is delayed again until the new pieces are here..everything put in again and hooked up again and bolted..THEN I can go get my baby. GRrrrr.

Awwww....sorry about that, but I think it just means that your fur baby is not "ready" yet, so it had to be postponed. Soon...

Yesh duzn't werry even tho its frushtrayting it jusht meenz your baby iz nawt reddy fur you yets *softpaw*

Angel Simba said...

Grrrr...... is exactly appropriate. You must be fuming.

Daisy said...

Oh, I feel the frustration. I am imagining some furbaby somewhere just waiting, unaware that his or her life is about to be changed for the better!

Summer at sparklecat.com said...

Maybe it was meant to work out that way, and the kitty that is meant for you won't be ready for a few days yet.

Beth said...

Hopefully the new pieces will be in good shape!

Just something to delay you a bit longer so you will get that just perfect fur baby. Hope you have no more problems with the unit once they get it replaced. I hope they get this one assembled for you and you get it all bolted to the wall. Hang in there your fur baby awaits. Hugs

::smacky paw:: at bad furniture putter-together people.

Meanwhile, come watch me purr some more and be soothed.

Don't worry about the delay. There are always kitties to love just at the purrfect time.

The Island Cats said...

We hate when stuff like that happens! But we know this just means that the purrfect kitty is out there and will wait for you!!

BeadedTail said...

We agree that this just means that your purrfect baby wasn't ready and we bet your kitty angels are making sure the timing is right! They will have a paw in the decision so pay attention to the signs!

Mickey's Musings said...

Grrrrrrrrrr,hisssssssss, spit!!!!!!
WE also feel your frustration!! However Sparkle has a good point.Maybe YOUR kitty is not ready for you just yet :)
It will happen :)

Purrs Tillie and Georgia,

I waited and searched for my girl for a long while before I found her. The kitty will come to you, never fear. I saw your comment at Random Felines... how close are you to them? Maybe the powers in the CB universe could unite you with that cutie?

Unknown said...

A New fur baby! Does that mean yous has found the purrfect one? Me (we) thanks yous for coming and visiting us! We has been so stressed with all the travelling. we has not been happy kitties. We too has been thinking about a new furrend for Kozmo, until we found about about new twin human grandchildren!

I understand your frustration, but you will find your new furbaby at the right time. You definitely want to make sure the furniture is solid. I had to "kitten proof" my house before Truffle and Brulee came to live with me, but I had twelve weeks to prepare once they picked me out. Good luck.
I'm pulling for you!

SailorEdgar said...

It's good to hear from you again. I can certainly sympathize about the furniture problems. The people who installed our carpet moved a wall unit and broke a few pieces of fine china. I'm sure that whenever you go to get a kitty, the one for you will be there.

wildcatwoods said...

It is not quite time yet - when all the details are purrfect - it will be time! We can't wait.

Jans Funny Farm said...

Wow, double grr! You paid to have it assembled and not only wasn't it assembled but they left damaged goods. Not a very reliable company, is it?

We're sorry you've been delayed. We know Admiral would want for you to be happy and your new furbaby is coming.

::flapping hands in frustration::

Meow_Girls said...

Hi Ma Carole,
We know why you are having this delay. Think about it. You can't find your furbaby until at least next week. It's because the right furbaby is not there for you yet. So please don't be too disappointed. We are sure it will be worth the wait.
Purrrss.

We know that a furbaby you got this weekend would have been right for you. But we hope this delay means that the furbaby you DO get will be MORE right!

And we will all be all ecited to find out about it when the proper time comes!

Annie Bear said...

Oh, Carole, that is so frustrating! I hope they not only replace but also are more helpful next time. Grrr! Lucy sends a hairball their way!

meowmeowmans said...

That's so frustrating, Mom Carole! You'll probably look back on this at some point and know that it all happened for a reason. We agree with so many of our friends who commented above ... when the timing is purrfect, your purrfect furbaby will be ready to come home with you.

Hugs and purrs from all of us!

Angel Prancer Pie said...

Tis karma, dear lady. But we agree, better safe than sorry with the wall unit. That speshul kitteh isn't where he/she needs to be just yet. It will all fall into place. **nosetaps**

Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryu said...

That is seriously annoying. Hissing and spitting, and maybe some growling too, are the only short-term solution!

CATachresis said...

Carole, I agree with the others that your furbaby is not ready for you yet :). I thought the only inefficient furniture delivery people were in the UK!!! What a bunch of no-hopers!! xox

SASS....Sammy Andy Shelly Sierra said...

When the right furbaby is there for you, it will all happen.

We all send you our love.

Brian's Home Blog said...

Yep, I agree, that special furry one isn't quite ready yet, still, that a real hisser fur sure!

Whisppy said...

That's annoying! But thanks for thinking ahead and making sure everything is safe for the new furbaby. We can't wait to meet the furbaby Admiral chose for you. :)

Fr. Tom Fish said...

They say timing is everything, Carole. The postponement might mean your furbaby isn't quite ready yet.

I do believe in kismet. Some time I'd like to share how timing was everything for my boy, Tom.

Keep us posted, dear friend. We can't wait to see who's destined to be loved by you.

Tom, mom Julie & Mittens

Rosemary B❤️ said...

UGH stooopit furrrrrniture.
Perhaps you could just go out and pet and play with kittens. You shouldnot be in too big of a hurry and perhaps choose hastily.
Come over here right now and you can kiss and pet us.
Mom says she understands that need to cuddle and snuggle a softie. You could dig up all of your beanie babies and play with them.... okay it was just an idea.

bonks and hugs

ps: if you want a big rump, MILES IS YOUR KITTY. His rump is HUGE

Cathy Keisha said...

You want that I should send one of my Boizz over to take care of them?? I'll do anything for you.

GreatGranny said...

They should be fired, just a lazy bunch. At least it'll be replaced and properly installed, I hope. And then your furbaby will soon be home with you.

Oui Oui said...

Everything happens for a reason! Maybe you would miss the purrfect kitty for you if you looked right now. I know how hard it is to wait when you are excited about a new kitty, but hang in there! Its not much longer. (we're excited too!)

The Florida Furkids said...

This is all part of Admiral's plan for you to be at the right place at the right time for the special furbaby she has picked out for you.

Waiting adds spice, or is that chili? MOL! Meow from Au, Target and Guido.

HH and The Boys said...

Awwwww. sorry your trip is delayed... No reason you can't look on line though... You can go to petfinder of some other place that sponsors cats near you and do a little peeking around.

Yay.... so glad you're gonna look for a fur baby.

pawhugs, Max, Bugsy, and Knuckles

Donna said...

O hai. I so happy u gonna reskyoo a noo bebeh friend. Maybe when they fix the teebee, ur bebeh can watch it with yoo. :).

Michelle said...

I hope you spoke to customer service about the fact that you paid extra for assembly, yet the guy wasn't willing to do it.

CCL Wendy said...

The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglay, so they say.

How frustrating for you!

Good luck on the hunt, though. I'm sure your next furbaby will make itself known to you very soon.

Tucker The Crestie said...

Oh, so frustrating! Hoping to hear some good news very soon!

BostonBoy said...

It makes you appreciate the odd times when things go smoothly and everybody does what they're supposed to do and things do get assembled as per order and parts are not defective. Those times are rare.
I'm sure we'll be hearing about the adventures of your new 4 legged friend soon.

Here I Am Carrie said...

Buying new stuff just isn't like it use to be. Nice you are waiting for the new fur baby. I know it's hard for us to travel as the cats have to remain home and we are a long drive for friends to come and feed them. Also I don't like them alone for more then 5 days. They are so afraid of other people I can't take them to anyone house for care. We were lucky last winter to have friends stay at our place in California while we went on a cruise for one week. It has been years since we have both been able to get away together for longer then a week. The dog was never a problem he was at home at everyone's house. I love my cats but they have made it near impossible to travel besides in the motor home with them along.

I am still waiting for the right time to get another dog. It's been 3 years now. I am so afraid to make the plunge now. Hope you have a purrfect week even without a puddy... Hugs Carrie

Oh Im so excited about you getting a new fur baby. I can't wait to get to know him or her.

Gigi said...

Hi Mom Carole! I think we'll haff a new video for you sometime this week, though it's not QUITE so sweet, MOL! (I fink it's embarrassing but I fink the Human's going to post it anyway).

Meanwhile, you can't possibly wear out my purry video, you know! I am purring just for *you* XOXO

Anonymous said...

We still miss Madam Admiral so verreh much, but it is good you is on teh lookout for another kitteh who needs you. <3

Gigi said...

Well, you **KNOW** what kitty I will lubz for the rest of my life, don't you?

Still, I do have a big, roomy heart, and if your new little one should happen to be a girlcat....well, I think CK and Nellie and Caroline and a few others could scootch over and make room.

Angel Gracie=^o.o^= said...

(*&^%$, to the posting.
But yeah to the visit I had with you today!!!! Please let me know as soon as your new furrie comes to your place to adopt you. This is such wonderful news and I am looking forward to getting to know the new one and hope to be close friends as I was to Admiral Hestorb.

Kat and the Furrsonality gang said...

We're so sorry to hear that! We'd be hissing and spitting, too.
Things will settle down, though. Be sure to let us know the moment you get your new furbaby!

Gigi said...

Glad you enjoyed my movie, Mom Carole. YOu did, didn't you, MOL!?

Hannah and Lucy said...

Purrhaps this happened because the new baby wasn't ready to be adopted for a few more days. Admiral must have wanted to delay you.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
