Off To Her New Life

Xandria left to start her new life an hour ago. I have no worries as to whether she will be loved and receive the attention she requires. The only worry I have is that she won’t have a playmate of her own age. She will, however, have a six year old brother. She and Brazil (three years old) started chasing each other a couple of weeks ago, and Shimmer has wanted to be the older sibling to her, the way Moxy has been, for some time. Once the resident cat in Xan’s new home sees how active and playful she is, I suspect he will want some part of that, and I think Xandria will try to initiate some fun, too - though I’ve no doubt the older feline will view it as annoyance at first. That’s usually the way.

I will miss Xandria. She had changed her opinion of me during her isolation; her reticence was gone, she didn’t resist being petted or picked up and she purred more. Hopefully that attitude will be transferred to her new people. I am sure it will be; the only question is that of time. And for a kitten like Xan, there will be plenty of that.
