And speaking of the SPCA, Maggie now has a sister of sorts. Today we adopted Mariah, a 13 year old senior cat who has been at the SPCA waiting for a forever home since December. Her challenge is that she only has three legs. But I can say that it doesn't stop her from wanting to play and batting around her new catnip toy!
I got Mariah settled on the daybed in the den, where she can hang out with Maggie (who has always considered the daybed her private domain) while I work. At first, Maggie was confused and a bit forlorn. She seemed to want to say "Excuuuse me! What is this...another animal? How depressing!"
But after a few minutes she lifted her head and decided she just might make friends.
You'll notice that Mariah is totally unconcerned that a dog is sharing her bed.
It's been 2 1/2 hours now, and Maggie has moved to floor in front of Mariah...she won't leave her side. We're hoping this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
