Truffle's Gotcha Day

Six years ago, today, Truffle came to live with Mom Paula!

Truffle then and now

Mom Paula: I shared the story of Truffle's Gotcha Day last year in a detailed post. Truffle was scheduled to come live with me two weeks earlier, but with Beignet's death, I asked Mom Terri to keep Truffle an additional week after her second set of vaccinations to make sure she was okay.

I remember being so nervous that day. Would Truffle be okay? Would she like me? Would I be a good cat mom? After all, it had been almost 16 years since I'd had a kitten. I took some time off of work so Truffle and I could get to know each other. She hid the first few days, but it wasn't long before she was sleeping on the pillow next to me and staying underfoot everywhere I went in the house (I almost tripped several times). Once Truffle overcame her shyness, she was into everything. She is curious about everything. The two of us lived alone together for two months before Brulee came to live with us. Truffle and I had a connection from the first time I met her at 7 weeks of age and she chose me. I'm so glad she did!

Happy Gotcha Day sweet Truffle!
