Thanks, Oriental Slave. I thought it might be a long shot, but worth a try. It was such a lovely lively story, but with its ending hanging in the air...plus, I am about to look for a kitten myself (poss short-haired ginger female to replace an adored, recently deceased of that ilk), so I guess...
Dear Leslie301, five years later, how did Rowdy turn out as an adult? I'm about to choose a kitten myself and would love to know how things worked out for you and your beautiful cat. (I hope you kept him away from the lily - they're highly toxic to cats.)
