When the Northern Family left, I noticed that my female human had a little dampness in her eyes.

I also thought I heard her quietly wondering when she would see them again.

Humans do become terribly attached to one another.

So, by the way, I shall be keeping a closer eye on her for the next little while.

Nothing too obvious, of course. A queen must preserve her dignity.

But I may sit nearby, supervise her more carefully and allow the occasional comforting presence.

Just until she is quite herself again.

Yours, Mrs. Cotton 🐱🐾
