It's not fair. I have a strong maternal instinct, and my parents know it. I would be a great babysitter - I'd read to her (Caldecott award winning books only, of course); teach her big, important words, like "salivate;" and give her lots of sweet mooches.
Look how cute she is! Wouldn't you be upset too if you weren't allowed to snuggle???
Your lonely feline in Georgia,

Dearest Caldecott and Simone,
ReplyDeleteI did try to warn you that life would not be the same when the new kitten arrived. If you look closely, you may start doubting her heritage as a true feline ... but you can deal with that later.
As for now, I suggest you find new cozy corners, far away from the new arrival. Not only will your parents be happier, but you will be as well. High places are probably best and safest. You'll understand when she grows larger and becomes independently mobile. But this will not happen for many months yet.
Caldecott, I know you would most assuredly make a wonderful surrogate mother, but allow your mom time to learn and adjust. She may not be as soft, furry and warm as you (and I know she cannot purr at all!) but she is doing the best she can.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I've been through this before.
Best wishes,
Simon (dictated to Deb)
Dear Caldecott,
ReplyDeletePay attention. She doesn't poop in a box. What's the point?
