That was a quote from Murphy in the middle of the night.
"When is she going to go home?"
I explained, "She didn't have a home, buddy. This is now her home."
"So, this is forever?"
"Yeah, that's the plan."
My morning routine takes longer. I had help this morning, for which I am grateful. Getting the food bowls in and out of the catio requires one to be at floor level. I need both hands to get up from the floor, which makes getting the bowls (3) out a three-step process. Then, since we don't have a second set of bowls for the little girl (they are coming today), those bowls need to be washed before I can fill them. This morning, Joan got the bowls out of the catio and washed them while I was working on Murphy's food and water.
Then, put out pills and vitamins for Joan and me. Get ice water and hot cocoa to take those pills. Then take Murphy outside for his first walk in the yard. Only 40 minutes today, compared to nearly an hour yesterday.
I checked on the little girl in the middle of the night. Murphy wasn't at the foot of our bed like usual - he was on his tower, about 10' from the catio. Skye/Star/Stella was quietly awake, looking back at me.
This morning, Murph was a bit growly a couple times, until he got to go outside. Realization is setting in.
They played through the catio for a while...
This little girl is now showing us her playful side. She has a half dozen or so toys in the catio, and she is trying them all out...
She has a lot of kitten energy. I hope I have the stamina to deal with the kitten energy.
Considering how well she is doing, we are thinking we'll let her out of the catio today to explore some of the house. We'll see.
