The other day Robin brought home a kitten.<\/p>\n

\"comfort\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was walking back to the house with Sam when he heard it crying: he called to it and it came running up to him, he petted it, and it followed him home. It was a little Siamese boy-kitten, thin and flea-ridden but so friendly and sweet. Robin said his name was Endor.<\/p>\n

\"004\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We all fell in love with Endor immediately. We took him in, fed him, cuddled him—he wanted nothing more than to curl up with a person and snuggle and purr.<\/p>\n

\"naptime\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only one member of our family did not love Endor, and that was Thora. We kept a baby gate up between the two of them, but she barked and growled from her side of it. On the “shall we adopt a stray kitten” question, her vote was an emphatic NO.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I posted to the neighborhood mailing list, asking if anyone had lost a kitten. I got an immediate answer from a nice lady who said it wasn’t her<\/em> kitten, but she’d been looking for a companion for her three-year-old female Siamese, and she would be happy to give him a home…<\/p>\n

So we said goodbye to Endor. I loved that sweet beautiful little purring creature, but he will be happier in that home than he would have been in ours. He’s just a baby, and he needs an older kitty around to show him how to be a cat. <\/p>\n

Endor’s new human tells me that he has already settled in. She sent a picture of him, all cuddled up to his new mama:<\/p>\n
