Dear Morticia,SO sorry to hear about your loss. You might remember we lost our Esme during the the full moon eclipse? Well, went straight on and got a rescue kitten (black,fluffy Buffy) about 3 weeks later. Hissing, growling and different parts of the house being inhabited - but 2 months on it is great they are friends and Felicity the older one is settled down - she was getting neurotic for company, making me feel awful/guilty if I'd been out all day (as one has to!) Consequently and happily, I found our relationship was less strained. Of course, I sadly miss Esme but Buffy is a lovely little girl and goes a long way to making the "family" feel whole again.
Blessings be, Hille
