Fitting into the new family


From Mimi's new family:

"For family/sentimental reasons (the name Mimi was already dedicated to the memory of a dear cat we lost many years ago), the Shelter's Mimi became our Mia.

Since her arrival, she has brought our household to life. Our two older, staider, neutered males have -- in the end -- completely taken over the education of their new little sister, and she adores them. She fearlessly coaxes them into play whenever she thinks they aren't paying her enough attention, and she's many times fiercer than they. And when she has worn herself out, she climbs into our laps and cuddles herself into sleep. Here's a picture of her stretched out in utter exhaustion after her first, incredibly busy, Christmas morning.

Many weeks ago, Mia had her first well-kitty visit to Angell Memorial and now has her own portal page! She charmed the socks off the medical staff. We are incredibly grateful for the happy accident that brought us to the shelter program on exactly the right day, and we love our Mia so much. If she ever grows out of the cutest-kitty-on-the-planet stage, I'll let you know, but it doesn't look very likely!"

She always did hold her own at our house, even as a tiny kitten. I'm thrilled to hear she's prospering. I have some cute pix of her if you'd like me to send them.
