I know many of you will remember my heart wrenching post about having to get rid of two of our cats who didn’t adjust well when our baby girl came home.  I am happy to report that both cats were adopted and found new homes.  Our older cat–who is a little over 12 did not adjust well to being an only cat.  She has been crying late at night every night for months and months.  We have buckled in and added a new friend.   I know there are those of you who will chastise me for getting rid of two perfectly awesome cats and getting another one.  Well, go ahead and make your comments.

Here is Zoë carrying Cookie around.  I know all of you PETA people will be seeing this as animal cruelty and we are working with Zoë to not carry the kitten around but Cookie is quite tolerant–except that one time Zoë tried to carry her by her tail.

We adopted Cookie from the Humane Society and I couldn’t believe how many kittens there were.  I was happy to hear that the Humane Society keeps the animals until they are adopted as long as their health is good and they don’t have any serious behavior problems.  Our litlle Cookie, has a bit of a cold and I might try to take her to the vet tonight–she seems a bit lethargic.  I am happy to report that Fudge, our older cat, has stopped crying all night and while her and Cookie are not BFF’s yet, they can amicably reside in the same space.  Cookie has already made friends with the dogs and sleeps with us and them in our bed at night.  Except last night she spent part of the night sleeping with Noah and it was too cute.
