Great news, everyone! I've started my family! But, it isn't in the way you're probably thinking. I adopted 2 cats from Luna! At home, Soxy, Shadow, and I are becoming acquainted, and it sure is an adventure!
Whenever I was visiting Luna last Monday, she jokingly asked if I'd like a free cat! I figured she was talking about Shadow since she had told me before of how they were seeking a home for him. I went over and began petting him and fell in love! Shadow is a black kitten a little under a year old with brilliant green eyes. He came right over to me, but we didn't really start bonding until later. Once inside, Luna also introduced me to Soxy, a 10 to 12 year old female who is black on the top and white on the bottom. At first, Soxy didn't like myself or Emma at all. I told Luna I'd ask my parents about the cats once I was home, and that I did! It took some convincing, but they finally agreed to let me adopt both of them. Thursday, I picked them up and took them home.
On the drive home, Soxy was in a carrier in the front passenger foot of the car, and Shadow was lying on a pet bed on the seat. It was quite an interesting drive, especially since Shadow had never been for a ride before. Poor Soxy was meowing in a pleading manner for the entire drive. Shadow, on the other hand, was purring contently as I stroked his back until he fell asleep.
At home, I carried both of them inside. Soxy darted into the closest hiding place she could find while her new brother began his adventure of exploring his new place. He warmed up to Emma, Bud, and my dad rather quickly. For our first night together, Soxy slept in hiding and Shadow slept on his pet bed near her.
More of our story coming soon.
