Kitty, Kitty

The cat arrived today. She's really fat! And really scared. She's been hiding in Mary's room (first under the bed and now behind the toilet). I got her out and put her on Mary's lap. I think she would have stayed there all night, but I eventually put her on the bed and then she ran back to her hiding place behind the toilet. Mary is very concerned that she hasn't had anything to eat, but I figure that when she gets good and hungry, she'll just have to come out and find something to eat. I've put half of a hot dog, cut up, on a saucer next to the toilet, but she isn't interested in it. Well, I think she is, but she's too upset to eat.

I'm filled with this awful feeling. A really bad premonition. I hope I'm just being silly. Well, if it doesn't work out, the lady who helped us get her said she would take the cat.
