It's been 4 months since Maddie died. If someone had asked me if I was ready for another cat, I'd have said No.

But then two weeks ago, a friend approached me quite gently and carefully to tell me about two black beauties needing a home. They are brother and sister, 4-1/2 years old, neutered and microchipped. Their owner developed allergies to them after having her baby... and then she moved to Israel and rented out her apartment with a clause in the rental agreement requiring the tenant to look after the cats. Then he moved away. The cats were left behind in the empty apartment. THREE MONTHS AGO!

Fortunately, the people in the Pilates Studio upstairs stepped in and have been looking after them. My friend is a client there, which is how she learned of their plight.

I met them last weekend and of course just fell in love. They came home today (with a detour first to my veterinarian who gave them a clean bill of health and updated their vaccinations).

They are soooo gorgeous with such lovely personalities! They're already making themselves totally at home.

I am enjoying their company so much and looking forward to being their family for the next 10-15 years.

P.S. I've re-named them. They were called Mis and Tique.
