Our Newest Addition (Introducing Meu)

A little over a week ago, on a night when we were having a bonfire, a cat that we had never seen before, wandered over to keep us company. The night turned into the next day, and still she stayed. We'd hear her meowing constantly. We started to give her a bit of food, as she was terribly skinny, and some water. After a week, we knew that we were going to keep her.

My mum had called Glanbrook Animal Control, and no one and reported this talkative little tabby missing. We figure that someone decided that they didn't want her anymore, saw our barn, and dumped her off. Honestly, it's not uncommon to see dumped off cats wandering around. Until Meu (said me-you), they'd all kept to themselves, and  did their own thing. Meu was wanting someone to love her.

So, yesterday, we took her to the vet, and got started on her shots, as we have no idea if her previous owner had done so. We also established that she's about 1 1/2-2 years old, because we had no clue, but figured she was pretty young. However, she was already litter trained, so that was a bonus.

Throughout the week, we'd kept Meu in great gram's part of the house. Yesterday was her first day in our part, and she's settling in nicely. Last night she cried a bit, but once she came into my room, she hopped up into my bed, and her crying stopped. Who knew something so little could take up so much space? Once Meu got herself comfortable, we were both able to sleep well.

A new day, a new addition to the family. Life's good.
