Tiny healer

Something I criminally neglected to mention in my posting from yesterday was the arrival of the newest member of our family, Miss Roxy Music Little Star Ross.

When my beloved Midnight died two weeks ago, immediately I thought we should go to the cat rescue of Staten Island Council For Animal Welfare; they have cats for adoption at the local Petsmart - which was how we were blessed to find Midnight.  As soon as I could pull myself together, we got in the car and headed over there.  As quickly as we walked into the cat area, an adorable little cutie kept meowing at us and waving her paw through the cage bars, as if to say "pick me!".  We first looked at a different cat; this very sweet but unfortunately-not-right-for-us little girl - and then we asked about the funny one who was so bold and outgoing.

Lightning struck twice - just as it did with Midnight.  As soon as this one-year-old fuzzball was in Liz' arms, she just cuddled.  When I took her, she did the same thing and then let me hold her like a baby.  So we signed the formal adoption papers right then and brought her home the next day.  The good folks at SICAW told us it may take some time for her to adjust...  uh, no.  She moved right in and took over completely.  And at the same time, her immediate presence kept me from falling apart over not having my beautiful Moonie there.  So she's been here two weeks now and I just fall more and more in love with her every day.  Sweet, funny, loving - a dream kitty.

This perfect little doll was named "Roxy" by the people at the shelter.  We thought, "okay, we can work with that".  And so the obvious was added and her name became a title instead...
