New Kitten

I've adopted a new kitten from the City of Brownsville Animal Regulation & Care Center.


I am naming her Hogmany in memory of my dog, who was supposed to be with me on Christmas Eve but was told he had "disappeared" from my dad's idiot coworker's house.

Having a new kitten is really different from having a dog. She does not sit, stay, come when called or understand the meaning of "no". I am not sure if her having ear mites affects her hearing.

I am just glad to have something small and furry to partially fill the horrible void I've had in the absence of my dog of 12 + years.
