Requiem

Punkin!

Well, as much as Lesley and I did not think we would be able to get another cat so soon after what happened with Luke, one cannot pass a perfect opportunity. And there she was, a cute, long-haired, shy cat named Pumpkin who we brought home yesterday. As corny as the name may seem at first glance, it actually has a story behind it. She was found as a stray in a pumpkin patch, and thus the name stuck. We decided to keep it that way, rather than renaming like we did with Luke and Grace.

She seemed like a lot better match personality wise for Grace than Luke, and multiple people said how much she resembled Grace both in markings and mannerisms. With the fear of her being adopted, Lesley and I moved quickly to adopt her as we knew that she would be a perfect companion for Grace.

They are both shy cats, so it may take a while to get over the fear of each other, but I have no doubts in my mind that they will be fine together. Pumpkin is tiny (only about 8 pounds) so even if she gets fiesty Grace can just threaten to eat her!
