We heard from our agent that the 2nd interested person has gotten preapproval. She emailed the 1st party to let them know that an offer might be coming soon, in case they would be ready to make one soon too.
So nothing yet, but seems encouraging.
Our new kitty did great at her vet checkup on most points -- except she tested positive for FIV. 
They drew more blood for the more definitive test. It was going to be a free checkup but ended up being about $150 total. We're still trying to get them together on opposite sides of the door, but we're not letting them together until we hear the results. If it is FIV, we're pretty sure we'll still keep both cats, but we'll make the introduction process as slow as possible so they hopefully don't bite each other. The vet said biting and drawing blood was the biggest way to transmit FIV.
Work is going OK, but I'm kind of stuck on a project that I can't see clearly the best way to write. I'm hoping to pick AS's brain this weekend to see if she can help me think through it and have a breakthrough, but we're really busy. I may even work from home Tuesday (I have Monday off but I'm doing a campaign-type activity in the middle of the day) if I feel like I need quiet time to think about it. My boss can kind of rattle me by coming by all the time and throwing me his thoughts just as I'm trying to get something written.
Three people were let go at my job on Friday, so that wasn't great for my confidence either. They were all in finance, though; I don't think there's any plan to get rid of writers.
Tonight we're going out for Thai food and possibly drinks. We're all excited! The cold dreary weather and forced frugality and sense of being in a holding pattern are getting to us all. It'll be nice to get away from that.
Incremental news, nothing final

Good luck, and enjoy your Thai!

When I did, he tested positive for FIV. The vet told me that Monkey would be fine since he was up to date on his vaccinations, and there was a possibility that Rafferty (kitten) would grow out of it.
Rafferty and Monkey never got to the point of being friends, but Monkey tolerated him. About 15 months later Rafferty got really, really sick - kidney blockage. I didn't catch it in time.
Anyway ... all that to say, FIV isn't something you should have to worry about with your other cat. Just have to be really watchful of the FIV cats health. It's worth it to give it a good loving home - no matter how long that might be.

I can see where three folks being let go can make you worry. I know it would me. Hopefully you will be in the clear and it won't be happening to you.
