To meet Callisto

[brightrosefox]

Anyway, I must say that we adopted a kitten a couple of days ago. She's a brown tabby domestic shorthair with Egyptian Mau markings and Abyssinian ears. They had named her Willow. We've named her Callisto. Adam and I had originally gone to the new local shelter still being built, saw that it was not open, and abruptly decided to go to the shelter in Rockville, just to look. Hah. We walked through all the cat rooms. Just to look.
She was in the very last room, the sick room, and we reached for each other physically and psychically, and I knew. She was already spayed and given vaccinations, so all we need to do is take her to a vet with a free coupon.

Callisto will never replace Rose. She will help heal the burning hollow emptiness.

She is small, long, and tall. She adores curling up on a lap and suckling on a shirt whilst kneading and purring. She loves rubbing against people, mewing for love, and playing with toys.
Luna and Jupiter have actually been fairly okay with this. They've both touched noses with Callisto - Luna smacked her and Jupiter has hissed at her several times, but this will take many days. Hopefully by next week things will have settled down and sorted out.

All I know is that I am in love, and so is my husband.
