It's starting on eight months since I've been living here at Concordia. It's great here and they see to all my needs. Except one. I haven't cuddled, petted, touched, or been near a kitty in that time. There's a rule here that residents aren't allowed to keep pets in their rooms. I guess it's a good rule for cleanliness, but emotionally I don't like it. That's why I had to rehome Marigold. It really hurts to all of the sudden not to have any cats after almost a lifetime of taking care of at least one kitty at a time.
