Quint and Olivia are family siblings but not technically sibling siblings. They do like each other though, maybe a little because Mom paired them together in a bedroom for a month when they showed signs of not liking each other from the start. Or maybe they would have grown to like each other on their own. Who knows?

We decided to adopt kitten Quint the very second we saw him. From a completely different litter and foster home, Olivia was a bonus kitten. An adopt one, get one free kind of deal. They also had a lot of black kittens up for adoption that no one showed much interest in. Truth be told, if they had said, “Adopt a kitten, get 12 free,” we would have taken them all and wouldn’t have batted an eye.

Now, we’re not saying Quint and Olivia as kittens hated each other’s guts, but let’s just say they weren’t happy being under the same roof as one another. A month spent in the master bedroom together with all the finest amenities and servants at their beck and call, drew them together and together they remain, good friends and buddies.

This is Tessa’s preferred spot. Give that girl a short box and a piece of crinkle paper and that girl’s in heaven.

Quint appeared to be looking for something. For a few days, he sat at the window for an hour or more, looking, waiting. But for what? We had no clue.

Then, one day, Dad went out to collect the mail and . . .

The Tooth Fairy sent Quint soft toys for having to give up a few teeth to the dentist last month. He smelled every one; a red tomato-looking one, a big blue blueberry-looking one, a white and tan flat one, and settled on a favorite, an orange one that he curls up with once a day.

Thank you, Tooth Fairy! Quint LOVES the toys you sent and sends soft purrs in return!
