You may remember we had thought Quill was a girl at the start. We were pretty open to who our new kitten would be, but we were sure we wanted a girl.
I wanted a lap kitty, maybe on the smallish side, and well mannered.
Instead we got a boy (figured that out three weeks later when the Vet surprised us) who's independent, huge, and is wee bit naughty in the best possible ways.
He is nothing we thought we wanted, but everything we needed. Quill is such a joy for us. He has helped to heal our hearts and fill them with a totally new kitty energy.
This morning I got a wave of the sads, missing my sweet Finny. A moment later Quill sauntered in with his rat toy proudly in his mouth. He's not shy about his love for a rodent like my girl was, but he's every bit as loved.
Happy Halfer Baby Boy.

ReplyDeleteHappy Halfer Quill!
ReplyDeleteQuill, you are wonderful. Cats just know when to show up to help the humans with their sads. Sometimes it is just surprising. You feel bad, and there they are.
ReplyDeleteDUDE! Happy Halfer! And way ta go wif the rat toy!
ReplyDelete(you'll always miss Finn and Quill of course was never meant as a replacement, we know that. He's just an addition to that place in your heart that shares love! But we're glad Quill cheered you out of your sads today!)
I was absolutely positive I wanted an orange boy kitten. Instead my husband surprised me with a black girl one-year-old kitten/cat. I wouldn't trade her for anything!!!!!
