Social Kitty

We had a customer come into the store today, who wanted to look at the cats.
Because her daughter had just adopted a kitty from us earlier last week and that kitty is the most cuddly cat the Mother had ever seen.
And she was jealous.
Because the previous kitties she's had in her home....haven't been friendly. They don't want to cuddle with her, be around her, she'll get swatted etc.

And she wants a kitty like the one her daughter has.
That is sweet and cuddly and friendly.

And she'd seen an orange kitten in the Adoption Center that looks exactly like the one her daughter had adopted.

-Which pieced the puzzle together as that adoption had been one that I'd worked with and the kitten still here in the store was with the kitten that had been adopted and more than likely they are littermates. 

Unfortunately for the mother.
There were two problems. 

The kitten still at the store was 
a) on hold.
and
b) the shyest of the three kittens that had been there.

The daughter had gotten the friendliest most social one.
The middle kitten had been semi social

And this last kitten.
Shy. Very shy.
But has come out of her shell since her siblings have left. But is still likely to hide in a corner.

Not the social cuddly kitten the Mom was looking for. 

Plus...the Husband doesn't want them to have a cat.
Which later was explained that they had just got new furniture. 
And was further explained that the Mom and her Husband are NEVER home.
They're away all day. 

Which with new furniture? 
Not a good idea.
Especially for a kitten. 

As the Mom wanted a kitten.

But basically since all the cats we had left are rather shy (as the social ones go quite quickly) 
I ended up convincing the Mom that if she wanted a kitten...she should wait until more social ones came in.

Which thankfully she agreed with.
So hopefully she'll just enjoy her daugher's kitten when she visits and will wait until her lifestyle is better for having a cat.
