My anxiety and sadness still linger from losing my Precious Siamese cat last week. I've been so worried about Slipknot being alone. I know the fear is mostly irrational. I worry that he will grieve too much and not like being alone. I want Slipknot's last several years to be loving and happy. He is such a loving cat. I want him to have a companion that will cuddle with him.
Mom and I went to the Charlotte Humane Society Saturday. We adopted a female multicolored Tabby named Esther. She is 6 years old. She had been at the shelter for two months. Her owner surrendered her and another cat. Mom and I picked her. She is getting used to being in her new home. She still hides. Last night she slept with mom on her bed most of the night. I tried to get Slipknot to sleep with me, he would not. He has been such a gentleman with Esther. Mom and I think we need to adopt a kitten for Slipknot and allow Esther to be her own self. Esther seems a lot like Buster in that she is not all over you cuddly and only wants enough to satisfy her. She looks similar to Tiger with her patterned coat and weight.
She is sweet. I know it will take a while for her to adjust. It's not going to happen over night or even a few days. She hisses at Slipknot, not an aggressive hiss, maybe fear and new surroundings. She is not a replacement, she is a new fur baby to our family.
I ask God to help us, help our fur babies adjust, and allow many loving years with both cats. I pray that Esther gets long with Slipknot and can cuddle with him. A kitten would do Slipknot good if she decides she does not want to ever cuddle with him. It will be ok.
