Today was the day. We had never wanted to be a five-cat family, and the other cats were having trouble adjusting to the new kittens (Emma never came out of the lower level of our house, and Bocca started peeing on the rug). So, with sadness, we gave Folio and Quarto to their new mother, our excellent house/cat sitter. I will miss the wee beasts – they are VERY cute, and Folio was so active, he was always fun to watch. Quarto is perhaps the sweetest cat I have ever met, and he had a plaintive (but cute) mewing chirp that demanded instant attention. He had taken to falling asleep in my lap, just this week. I wish Foley and Queuey the very best in their new home.
