My friend Samyn (our guy from this Board) came over today with his lovely wife and children and adopted Chaos. They loved all the kittens but Chaos was their choice.
I am happier than an 18-year-old Marine with a handful of $5 bills in a Mexican skivvy house today that this wonderful kitten has found a loving home for life with a loving family.
The Momcat, Mister Mittens, knew something was up earlier today after I spoke to Samyn on the phone. I do not know a goddamned thing about motherly instincts except from what I know from my own mother and my wife and my old dead dog Susan. Mittens called all her kittens together earlier today and nursed them all together for one last time while licking and mewing with each one. She knew that somebody was leaving. Before Samyn and his family left my home with Chaos, Mister Mittens was glued to the front door to leave as well. I had to lock her up in a room as Chaos left the premises with his new owners.
I suppose things will calm down after a while with Chaos gone. In the photo, Chaos is nearest Mom's head and Mittens has her paw around this kitten in an act of love like she knows her son is gone. Damn, animals can blow your mind when you're close to them 24/7.
