Roughly a year ago today, our beloved thirteen year old tabby cat, Leo, passed away. It was sad stuff and I can relate to what your daughter is experiencing.
About a week later I decided the house was too quiet without a pet, so I brought home a 12 week old Siamese. He has turned out to be the most alpha and destructive cat imaginable, but an absolute joy.
Give your daughter a big hug.
I smell money...my alpha Siamese and yours on an Animal Planet pay-per-view.
