Due to a death in the family of the favourite pet cat, my posting to the blog has been non-existent for the last several days. Normal service will resume shortly. Meanwhile, here is the cat in question: Marble, the licker of wet children's hair.
I don't know about another kitten - we still have two cats and they seem to be friendlier now that the super friendly one is dead. Not sure if that's actually the case - we might just be imagining things.
I do confess to going into a pet shop yesterday and looking at some kittens, but they weren't tabbies, so it was easy to resist. Plus they were asleep. The kids were horrified that I went into a pet shop without them (they were both at friend's houses).
Marble died on Sunday morning across the road - most likely hit by a car. We didn't even know she crossed the road, but apparently she had a friend that she visited and sat under the house with. This was according to the lady who took me to her body and related all that she knew. There was a cat calling outside tonight - it was probably the friend wanting Marble to come across the road with him.
Lucyna, a long time ago an American woman made a short movie about the secret lives of domestic cats. Apparently they have large social groups and they travel sometimes quite a long way to meet with the 'gang'. I think we know far less about our beloved pets than we imagine!
I'm still looking for a ginger kitten too, but pet shops don't seem to be an ideal way to find a healthy one.

My condolances. Family pet deaths are very difficult on our children and on us.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your moggy, Lucyna.
ReplyDeleteAnother kitten asap is probably a good idea. :-)
Thanks Madeleine and KG,
