Letting go

Ok, I'm the catwoman. Not THAT catwoman. Just a woman who has a heart for cats, kittens and all things feline. Right now as I type, my moo-cow cat, Pugsley, is lying on the table between the keyboard and the monitor. He is white with black splotches -- including one on his back that looks like Mickey Mouse ears. Well, today I let go of two kittens, and interestingly enough, I kind of miss them. The first was a gray/black little guy, with black feet and legs, black tail and ears, and a black stripe down his back. My stray, Jasper, had him and two other babies. I kept one -- Patch. And I found a home for the little girl. But I needed to find someone who would love the gray/black fellow. The second was an orange kitten who was the son of two strays that live behind the place where I work. Employees caught the other orange kittens, but this one was quick and kept getting away. Well, the maintenance guy finally caught him, and I took him home. Both kittens were about seven weeks old. I listed them on Craigslist, and a lady came today and took them both (she had her daughters with her). I am so happy they have a new home, but it's sure a little quieter around here with them gone. Bittersweet.
