I can hear you clearly now: “You did what?!”
Yes, Cat Man and I have officially adopted an
eight-month-old kitty who unexpectedly arrived in our backyard four months ago.
We were not planning to begin anew after Lucius passed away, but life intervened.
Enter the darling and persuasive Pye, and who could say no to six cats in our
house again?
We haven’t been around kittens for so long that we
forgot how truly tiny they are. Pye is about as petite as they come, and dainty,
too. But I think she’s got a 'tude, which makes her a worthy successor to
Lucius.
Pye’s holiday stocking is tangible proof that she is
living among us at Catland, because we can’t take a photo of her hiding in
between Catman’s dress shirts, which are hanging from the bottom rack of a dark
closet in the guest bedroom. That image would not be terribly merry or bright.
Leo, Linus, L.B., and Alvar are almost panting like rubes
in anticipation of meeting Pye. Lydia is fuming and plotting when to let the fur
fly. I am betting on the first day that the guest-bedroom door opens.
Not a creature is stirring—not the case at Catland!
