    For about a week now I’ve been super excited about getting our little kitten, Millie.
    Well yesterday, the guy giving her to us told us that his girlfriend wants to keep her, and that he has another pregnant cat and we can pick the first one when the kittens are born, but honestly i’m so sick of getting so excited and then being let down, that I don’t even want another kitten any more. It just seems like it’s not meant to happen, so we’re probably going to stop looking. I’m really upset about this because I really wanted Lola to have a friend because she gets so lonely sometimes, but I know if we get one when she’s past her playful stage she won’t be too happy about it. I’m so disappointed and so hurt because it was nice having something to look forward to for once. we even bought a litter box and food dishes, and I changed my entire apartment around to make more room. Ugh, oh well.

    CM, do what’s right for you, but if you really want another kitty then one may “present” itself to you, either from this upcoming litter or from a shelter. Or if not, both my kitties were alone during the day and only had me as companion and it has worked out purrfectly. Take the time you need and when you are ready to make a thought-out decision you’ll know it. Take care and love to Miss Lola.

    Don’t be discouraged Cheyanne. Cats have a way of “appearing” at just the right moment. I believe that exactly the right kitten/cat is going to appear at exactly the right moment. Cats know who’s heart is searching for them.

    CM,
    The right one is out there waiting for awesome purr parents like you. You don’t have to get another kitten. Miss Lola will do fine with a male between 5 months and 1.5 years. (Female to male pairs can be smoother sailing.)

    Hi Cheyanne – I’m sorry you are disappointed – let downs like this hurt. I do agree, however, that since you ache for a friend for Lola, and yourselves, that someone is out there looking for you.

    thank you so much everyone, I really hope the kitten we are longing for finds us. But if not that’s okay too. Lola is a handful enough but I often wonder if a play mate would calm her down, (or at least let me sleep past 9 am, that would be nice.) I don’t want a kitten from Joeys “friend” because for all I know he may “change his mind” again and decide he doesn’t want to give his kitten away and i’m not setting myself up to be let down again. Also he has like ten cats who are not nuetered or spayed and they just keep having kittens and it’s so irresponsible of him and can result in in-breeding. If we do get another kitty I want her to be from an experienced breeder, or shelter.
    And I totally agree with the, “cats finding us” thing.
    When I was 10 years old my mother and I lived in a town house and we had a cat living in our window well for two weeks. She was a beautiful long haired calico, and the sweetest cat in the world. I would feed her sardines and milk everyday. And then one day we were having new windows put in, she jumped right in our house and made herself comfortable. We weren’t allowed cats at that place, but our landlord was there and he insisted that we kept her. She had already been fixed and was declawed so there was no way we were going to leave her outside. I had her for 11 years before she passed away in january 2013. She definitely found us, and I’m so glad she did. After she passed away I thought there was no way I’d ever get another cat, until Lola stole my heart, of course.

    God finds some of the strangest ways of giving you what you truly need! Don’t give up hope.

    Love,
