Apologizing Again

Dear Stitch and Gordita,

I fear I stand before you begging for you to forgive me. However, there is a big chance you will not completely understand what I am asking forgiveness for until July.

To cut clear to the point, we are going to have another baby. Now before you begin to hiss in protest and go on and on about how unfair it is let me remind you that at one point you too were baby kittens. In fact, Gordita, I have a good memory of you as a kitten in our home peeing outside the litter box, scratching up the couches and shredding my beta fish when I came home from college.

As you roll your eyes may I remind you that Baby Jackelyn (who is more Toddler Jackelyn now) loves and adores you two. She often tries to share her snacks with you and play tea party. She has even learned to pet you in a gentle manner. I understand you may not want to eat cereal she offers and I completely understand the inability to drink from an empty teacup. But remember that babies will not cry for forever and may even grow to be amazing little cat lovers who will pet you all day long. She even shares her Princess couch with you Stitch. She doesn’t try to shove you off. She snuggles up with you or allows you to snuggle up with her on it. So let’s try to be positive about this new baby.

Again, I’m sorry. I promise this wasn’t planned or meant to ruin your kitty cat lives any further than I already have.

You’re humble human slave,
Crystal

  1. I have 5 cats and with each one after the second one, I felt the need to apologize for bringing another cat into the home making less time for the first two and less treats because we have to make things stretch....lol

    CONGRATS on the new human baby :)

  3. I have always gotten along well with cats. I've never had one as a pet but they seem to have always chosen me as a human pet. That's ok too, I guess.
