These are pics taken of Festus the day after Blue was adopted. She is in the kitty chair, on top of blankies, which is a normal spot for the kitties to nap. But she is facing my bedroom, where sometimes Blue would sneak away. There is a tiny hole from the laundry room into my room, so the kittens can sneak in, but not the big cats. So Fest was sleeping in the chair, waiting for Blue, and I have never seen her look so sad!
Still waiting.
Here is Festie, watching for "her" kitten to come out. The bedroom door was opened by dh, and she looked so hopeful!
These pics just make me cry. When I got Blue, she was basically feral. And while the people in my house tried our best to tame her, much of her training was done by Festus. She was never more than 10 feet from Blue for several months, except when Blue hid in my bedroom. I even took Fest with to Blue's first adoption show. While Fest was pretty nervous in the cage, Blue was just fine. She knew her bodyguard was there!
After taking the pics, I took Festie into my room and explained to her that Blue was gone. I aplogized for letting her baby go. Since Fest was spayed young, she never had kittens. Until Blue and Jasmine (Red). And Festie always preferred Blue.
I tried to give her extra loving that day, and she purred and cheered up. But I am done fostering. Tomorrow my last foster Mom CoCo, and her final 2 kittens will go to new foster homes, hopefully to be adopted soon. I can't do it anymore. I can't keep giving up cats. I can't keep getting rid of my cats companions. And my kids beloved babies.
Here is one of Garfield with Jasmine (Red) and Blue.
Blue is very happy in her new home. She lays on her new Daddy's chest. She has hit it off with her new jet black kitty companion. I'm glad she is the princess of her new house. I'm happy she is so beloved. But I miss her.
