The best laid plans …. Pam calls for assistance

The best laid plans……Pam calls for assistance.
One morning Pam called with a request for help. With Margie in Hospice care at her brother’s home in Montana and with no hope of returning to her home or her felines, Margie and Pam felt it was time to move Millie and Tux to their new homes. As you will remember, Millie was to go with nephew, Jim, and Tux was to be moved to the animal sanctuary. Pam was calling to round up a cadre of friends to help with the move, or should I say ‘to catch Tux’.
Millie’s move would be simple. She was always around and available for touches. Getting her into a cat carrier would be easy. Tux on the other hand would be the challenge. We developed a plan. Since Margie was the only person that Tux would let approach without running, Pam and I decided that it would be best to have the house sitter gradually shut the doors to the basement and all other rooms except the living room, kitchen, and upstairs bedroom. With this more limited territory, we felt that a number of us would be able to corner Tux and eventually get her into the cat carrier.
Then an immediate thought arose in my mind. I did not want to traumatize Tux. So, I suggested to Pam that I spend the next week visiting with Millie and Tux each morning and afternoon and try to establish rapport with Tux. Hopefully, I would eventually be able to catch her and place her in the cat carrier without trauma. Besides, Pam was doing so much for Margie that I wanted to lighten her load a bit too. Pam was relieved with this suggestion and so our new plan was set.
To help me with my task, I decided to call upon Jasmine Indra, the animal communicator who had previously worked with Regal and me. I wanted her to talk with Tux, prepare her for the upcoming events, and send her the healing Yuen energy. One phone call later, Jasmine responded to my request for help. She immediately took the time to connect with Tux telepathically and shared her findings.
P.S. Now, I’m sure, that you are probably wondering “What does Tux looks like? Who is this elusive cat?” While I did not take this photograph during this time in the story, I thought your curiosity was on the rise and felt that you must be wondering. So, here you are….Tux, the elusive cat.
