This condition for myself, is a cruel twist - I am unable to have children due to a sexual assualt and worse luck meeting my Grandmothers' bridge partner in a medical setting on the other side of the assault. The aftermath. This left me without the ability to procreate as he promised me so at the time.
But this does not stop my cluckiness, the urge to take care of something small and fluffy and helpless, entirely (almost) dependent on me for it's daily survival. So guess what dear readers if you haven't already? WE'RE GETTING ANOTHER KITTEN. I've found the perfect little bundle of love for free on Gumtree.
She's gorgeous and has the most adorable white stripe down her nose. But - she is to be a surprise for my step-daughter, I got another older cat from a vets ages ago- and I think she's become a little depressed lately - lonely even - she's taken to hanging out well out of reach for pats on top of the linen cupboard where I'm unable to reach her.
I think maybe the introduction of a fluff-ball in to the household will snap her right out of her current funk and put her back in the position of competing for attention. I am hoping so at least.
But it will definitely help my step-daughter, our older cat has decided that she does not require children in her life so disappears at the sound of SD's voice and rejects all attempts at affection much to SD's disappointment. A little ball of fluff still very much in kitten land will be very different. They are always affectionate and wanting to play, wanting to snuggle and smooch and come when they're called.
I'm so excited but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
