I have a pair of buddy female cats like that, too. Originally we adopted a real mother and child but the child contracted FIP from the cattery we got her from FIP is some sort of Feline Intraperitoneal something or other and the vet said we could prolong her life a few months but it wouldn’t be good for her, so we let her pass with dignity. Then we went back to the cattery, they run a ‘no kill’ shelter and they allowed us another cat, another calico kitten. She is fierce and only defers the alpha position as a courtesy to the older cat, named ‘mommycat.’
It’s always heart-breaking to lose a pet, even one you don’t live with for very long. Bless you for letting the kitten go without extreme measures. And for giving MommyCat another baby to train.
I got home from an ill advised trip to PA yesterday and found the package that you sent me. OMG I could not stop laughing! Thank you so much for a very needed pick me up. It came just in time!

I’m so glad! The book cracked me up & I wanted to share. A friend told me Samuel L Jackson has an audio book of it. So perfect!

OMG I can’t even imagine how funny it would be to hear him read it!

Did you get them to pose?

They did that all by themselves.

He’s kind of making up for lost time, running across my desk, flaunting his tail, fighting with Henry. It chokes me up.
