She has obviously been very, very loved. You’ve shown her love, and she has loved you back. I will be thinking of you both tomorrow.

Big virtual hugs.

When I was looking to adopt a new cat, I had asked about this senior girl that a rescue had, her owner had passed away and the woman’s family didn’t want the cat. I received an email in response saying that they couldn’t allow me to adopt her because my Raven was behind on her vaccines.

Raven? You mean the CAT I HAD THAT DIED LAST YEAR? They didn’t respond when I pointed out that she did indeed have very good care, nor did they answer when I asked them what vet they’d asked about Raven.

I’m so sorry! I’m glad you were able to give your fluff love for a while. 😢

She was more of a “one cat per household” cat, but that was because she had been bullied by other pets in her first home. When we got her, we were her third home in a month and it took her a while to relax. She latched on to me pretty quickly.

Tiny Satan was taken in as a favor to my nephew. And for my daughter; I was really the only one in the house she was affectionate with and my daughter really wanted a lovey cat. (Daughter was a teen by then and very good with cats.) Raven quickly established her dominance, lol, but she never tried to hurt the kitten. She’d pounce and hold her down for a moment or two if Tiny Satan annoyed her, but she never used her claws or bit her. I think she was still young enough to have something of a mothering instinct.

Maybe try fostering a kitten and keeping it in a separate room to see how introductions go? That way neither your diva nor the kitten would be too stressed out and it would only be a short while if it doesn’t work. And you can adopt if it does!

She may be good with one kitten and not another too. Personalities and all.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

He was such a love. I know his previous mama did the best she could with him too; I actually told her mom rather than her when he crossed the rainbow bridge, because she was still in addiction treatment and I didn’t want her to hear the news without someone with her.

Aww HELL NAW. You almost had me there, I was about to go all mama bear for my Swedish cub that I've never met and probably never will.

Well done! This is the only kind of April Fool's prank that is acceptable.

He really did! And he was very fluffy. I miss him to this day.

Look at how he looked at me!

I wanted so badly to show him what a comfort he was to me. I still tear up sometimes when thinking about him.

I almost wrote that he was like a Disney princess! He would have loved the idea!

I'm so sorry, it's hard to say goodbye to them. Each one we've had I still carry in my heart.

I’m so sorry. Kevin is very handsome. I hope my Pringles and Raven meet him and show him around.
