Last night, while we were out, Ink's new owner left a message on our answering machine to tell us he was doing just fine and what a nice kitten he is. What a nice thing for her to have done! I think it made both of us feel a little better about letting him go.
It was small consolation, however, to little Miss Carla. She has been weeping non-stop for the past 24 hours. She's ok, as long as we're in the room with her. The moment she's alone, it all falls apart. I feel terrible for her, and I really can't wait until we can let her comingle with the others. She kept us up half the night with her crying. She is very friendly, affectionate, and curious now that Ink is gone. He was the more dominant of the two. In a way, I think she is coming into her own without him, even if she is lonely at the moment. We put her together for a little while with Minnie last night. Minnie wasn't all that interested, although she did a little growling. Carla growled and hissed and acted tough, which made us laugh because Minnie outweighs Carla by 12 pounds.
Happy Friday.
carla,
