Dear Lina, What exciting news! I am so to hear that you finally adopted a cat. Maple sounds absolutely adorable, and I love the story of how she at the shelter. It must have been stressful when she hid for those first days, but I am glad the shelter staff were able to you. It sounds like she has really made your apartment her home now, especially that armchair! As for her not liking to be alone, leaving the radio on is a idea. And yes, you are right that my building now allows pets. I would love to when I visit for Thanksgiving. I cannot wait to meet Maple too! Talk soon, Nadia
