65. Two down, two new

In the begining of the pandemic, we lost our two beloved cats. Our lil girl feline was 13 and had complications of a hernia and our may was 16 and had kidney failure.We let them go over the Rainbow Bridge with the help of our vet. It was a calm and peaceful end. After a few months into this virus, we needed some feline friends again. We found two on Petfinder and adopted them. Best move we have ever made. They have given us endless laughter and joy! Our tiger striped boy is the smartest cat I have ever seen ! Little girl cat the most loving. One thing we have found out is that due to Covid, we do not have many people over here at the house. So the kitts have what we call Covid Syndrome. They are scared to death of other people !I'm not sure if they will ever be socialized or not. We are seniors here, we have no children, few living relatives,and most friends are gone for the winter months. Somehow we are going to have to socialize these kittens, so i'm bringing them to the front door when the delivery people make our deliveries. It is not helping much but we will see how the Spring and Summer go, God willing we do not get this evil disease. samplegirl, enjoy your little bundle of fluff ! teach her some tricks ! Buy her some interactive toys from Chewy. You will have a special bond with this lil one! Congratulations!
