One more cat has come to our family! Daughter Emily works at Bauhaus, the cat cafe in Maplewood, MO where we obtained Mia. Now we've adopted our little flame point Siamese whom Emily named Taako, after a character in a podcast that she likes. (His foster mom had given Western-themed names to several cats and had called him Widowmaker.) Taako has already settled in and become a “brother” of Maia.
Alas, both Maia and Taako are soon moving West with Emily as she begins graduate school. But he’s been a joy to get to know this summer—-and, of course, he’s still in the family, just in a different place.
As I wrote when we adopted Saki: A new pet isn’t as drastically life-changing as a baby. (Emily's birthday is coming up!) But they do introduce additional responsibilities into your day. If you’re a “pet person,” though, your very well being depends upon a little four-legged critter who is your special friend, a refuge and companion amid your tasks and challenges. A new pet is the beginning of a new period of your life, and the anticipation of many family stories and adventures.
