Maybe it's fate.

So I found someone today that has 3 kittens that are about a week old.  They are all boys, and one is a cute orange tabby.  Of course I won't do anything with Dock still around.  The less I stress her out the better.  But I know Mace would not do well without a playmate.  So depending on the timing, there is a possibility for a kitten in about 6 weeks.  But of course, Dock will be the judge of when that plan goes ahead.
