Braith Options

[Emma]

Almost 3 months after my beloved Squidge passed away, another little cat walked into my life today, and I'm now her new mummy. I feel happy that I have my new baby to focus on, guilty that maybe my other cat Mitz maybe would of preferred to stay an only 'child', and i feel guilty and upset incase Squidge thinks she's been replaced cos that could never happen, I'll always love Squidge more than anyone else, and the biggest part of my heart will always belong to her. I'm so worried that my new little cat, Braith, came into my life too soon, I'm still all over the place and havent dealt with losing Squidge yet, between my baby girl passing away and last week, I have forgotten not only my late grandfathers birthday and the anniversary of his death (i ALWAYS go to his grave - esp on these dates normally), I also forgot my step mums birthday and my little brothers birthday! That is soooo unlike me!

Braith came into my life yesterday, I went back to my car after work and there was a kitten under my car (no older that 4 months old), i got her out from under my car, opened my door and she jumped into my car, i got her out of my car, shut the door and she went back under the car, in the end i sat in my car for 15 mins with the door open wondering what to do. The kitten had no collar and looked skinny and i so didnt know what to do, it hadnt looked like it had eaten in a while and also it was way too young to be out on its own - esp on a main road!!! but then an old lady walked past and she commented on the kitten, laughed at the situation (that i couldnt drive away as everytime i shut my car door, the kitten ran back under my car), she stroked it, walked off and the kitten ran along with her and she said she couldnt keep it as she'd just had to have 2 cats put to sleep and wasnt ready to have another cat yet. the kitten then vanished and i drove home, a few hours later i still couldnt get the kitten outta my mind and was worried, i drove back and it was still there and looked sooo thin and lonely, so i came back, got my best mate and pet carrier and came back, but we couldnt find the kitten. then this afternoon, i parked on the same road to go to work, i got out of my car, heard a meow and the kitten was running towards me!!! and followed me virtually into work. my bf then called me and he came and got the kitten and took it back to mine, it ate and drank LOADS!!! I dont know how long i'll be her mummy for, i think she got out of her home and travelled too far and then got lost, she's too little to be out plus she has no collar and looked like she is well looked after, but too skinny!! also the amount she ate and drank in one go as soon as my bf got her back here makes it seem like she hadnt eaten properly in a while!

Mitz didnt seem happy at first, and now keeps trying to go and sniff the kitten, but Braith keeps hissing and growling at her and she does it back! but Braith is sleeping happily enough and looks comfy and settled! x

WELCOME LITTLE BRAITH!!! How wonderful it is that Braith and you have found each other. New furry loves never replace the special ones who have passed before them. I'm sure Squidge would only wish for happiness in your life and knows he could never be replaced. Bringing a new baby into our hearts and homes also brings another flavor of joy and happiness.

Here's wishing you and little Braith many happy and healthy years together!
