I am in a very weird funk at the moment and wasn't sure where to post this.
We unexpectedly brought home a new kitten yesterday but it feels so soon after our foster passed on 9/13.
It makes me sad to think of our foster and compare her to this new little one. It's not the regret of having this new girl but more so the sadness and realizing how behind our foster was in development and temperament.
This little girl is 11 weeks old and is 2.5 lbs. Black little pudgy thing with so much energy and the sweetest temper. She loves playing with her toys and doesn't rest at all. She is constantly go go go! It's like she's a wind up toy that broke and won't stop running. I love it.
Compared to our foster who was 17-26 weeks old who barely played, slept all day, and was 1.8lbs at her passing. It's astounding to see the difference and it makes me so incredibly sad. She was constant cuddles and eating but no energy to truly do much besides that.
I don't feel I'm replacing her, not one bit, nor do I regret that she is now here. If anything, she livens up our house after such a hectic sad week. I just feel so incredibly sad to think this was supposed to be her life. This is more of a rant than anything.
