Sooooo, Friday after spending time with his cousins, Jim came home and said he found us a kitten. A KITTEN! I could hardly believe my ears! We had casually talked about getting Molly a companion for the daytimes when we're all at work and the house is empty, but we weren't really serious. Hmmm. So, Saturday we went to get "Luna".
Luna was found with her brother and sister in a drainage ditch that was filling up with water. The mommy kitty was nowhere to be found and Jim's cousin bottle fed all three until they were weaned. Luna has a stubby tail, which we're not sure if by accident or birth defect. If by defect, she could be a Manx cat. The jury's out on that. In the meantime, Molly's not too sure. She was VERY unhappy the first day, then just mostly unhappy the second day. By this morning they could be found in the same room together, but still not getting along. We'll see how this works out. If it doesn't work, Luna goes back to the farm to be with her siblings and Molly gets her house back and our little experiment bombs.
Stay tuned for what will probably be many updates...

I do believe Molly rules the roost. Hopefully Luna can find her place in the pecking order. Look out Rosie...Molly's got a wingman.
Oh wow! Another kitty. The same thing happened when I brought Sissy home to live with Minnie. Now they are like best buds and gang up on Dear Hubby's cat! Seems like when it is a kitten, they "grow up" together and do ok. Hope yours does, too!
