This is how Tudor wanted to spend the entire afternoon.

I finally had to put him on a pillow and hope he fell back to sleep because I had to get up and STRETCH.

I was just there to grab litter on way out of town and he stared at me until I went to see him and pick him up…💙💜💙💜

Curled up on my shoulder snoozing peacefully. Oops - he just slid down my arm and promptly fell back to sleep!!

I hope the kidcats are quick to accept him. They can be kitten sitters while I get things done!!

And will catch up with you when the terror has passed. For both you and Tudor.

8. Every time I've found a feral has died I think 'Why wasn't I out here! I could have prevented this!'

Most times it was a totally unrealistic piece of angst. There was likely nothing I could have done.

Now I know that sometimes, or at least this time, it is possible to be there just in time.

And yes, I am still processing the experience. I fear I lack the ability to deal with any more deaths.

12. Cousin Sal would say Tudor is too pooped to pop. I used to say all tuckered out but that leaves a bad taste in my mouth anymore.

Scientifically speaking, Tudor is busy growing! And learning! He’s processing this big wonderful world he’s come home to.

It is a wonder and joy to behold. Many thanks, Siwsan, for sharing this journey with us.
