Susan Boyle rejects her plans to move to a more luxurious apartment, because of her beloved cat. Despite the council house in Scotland is being broken into, her pet cat Pebbles does not want a change.
Pebbles has lived here all her life in that house and the cat hates upping sticks, says Boyle. So she has declined the offer of Sony Music , to rent a 10 million-pound mansion, in an exclusive Californian community .
Sony promised flying the cat to California, but Boyle feared that her pet might not survive the flight or be able to settle by the ocean. Though Sony also granted a housekeeper, assistant and a chauffeur, she did not accepted the offer. Boyles' friends say that she is such a home-buddy who is never ready to leave her kith and kin.
Since the cat is coming from another country, it would have to be quarantined. That would be stressful for a animal. They should move her to a better neighbor.
I think it may be that Susan also wants to stay in the one place that she knows as her home.
I do not think that this is unusual. I think it is the sign of someone who realizes that for the heart their are more important things than the things riches can buy.
They cannot buy the feelings you get from the place you know of as home. It is the place that is full of memories of love ones. Susan is single and the family members that she has been close to she feels close to her in her simple home. It is not like she has married and has a family and maybe grandchildren. It is these memories that mean so very much to her so she wants to hold onto them in the place that both her cat and herself know as that place that the heart knows is home.
You owe me a keyboard.
It would be so much more wonderful and meaningful to have a visit with Susan in her long time home than going to some sterile, fancy mansion. Susan knows how to keep it real. Since Susan is a Christian I am sure someday in heaven we will be friends and share a nice cup of tea in a place that will be home forever.
I agree. When my cat got old, I didn't move house although I wanted to, until she had passed on. Moving would have killed her prematurely.
Some how "Mr. Tanner" comes to mind..........
May God bless her in her decision, she's right at home where she belongs........
That's the way I read it, too.
