Rose finally opened the package and saw a very ornate jewelry box with a key. She closed her eyes as tears fell down her face. She had no business with this box. It was not meant for her but for the one she had carried 5 years ago. The one she gave up for she could not deal with the pain the infant would bring. She also knew where the child was. She would send this to her and in hopes that the child would one day forgive her. Perhaps she could forgive herself. Rose carefully wrapped the box up in that box and then in another box. She printed out an address and put the code name of Princess on it. She placed the box in the safe for the moment.<br/><br/>Rose laid down for a couple hours but sleep elluded her. She just could not get comfortable with the box in her apartment. Spooky wanted to play so she did. She tossed balls, mice and gave the kitten a box to jump in and out of while she took a bath.<br/><br/>She skipped the bath and took a hot shower instead. Once she was finished with the shower, she dressed in a pants suit. She then fed Spooky extra tuna. Spooky greedily ate the tuna and washed himself. He did not put up a fuss when Rose placed him in the box with a blanket. He just went to sleep. Rose smiled at the only thing that made life bearable. Upon grabbing the two boxes and her purse, Rose headed out into the fresh air.<br/><br/>Her first stop was at the post office where she put the box with the jewelry box in the box from the post office, added packing peanuts, and taping it shut tightly. She waited in line for a few minutes and shipped it overnight delivery. Next she took her mail out of the postal box, stuff it in the purse aas she went out the door.<br/>When she looked at the jeep, she groaned.<br/><br/>"Spooky, you were suppose to stay asleep until we got to the vets. I need to get you a travel cage that is for sure. Now you imp, let me in....." Rose opened the door and caught the kitten in mid air as he tried to get away.<br/>An officer walked up to Rose and spoke sternly.<br/>"Excuse me miss but do you know that it is illegal to drive a pet around in a vehicle without it being in a pet carrier?"<br/><br/>"Uh no...... Spooky is my first pet and I got him from a little girl who was trying to find home for him. I am so sorry Officer. I'll pick up one when I get to the vets. Do you know of a good vet?" Rose asked.<br/><br/>"Yes but you will need to make an appointment for him to see a vet. " the officer wrote a name of a vet on a card.<br/>"If you give this card to the vet when you go to see her, I'll let you go this time. but get a carrier. There is a store just down the road."<br/><br/>"Thank you officer. I didn't know that I had to make an appointment for a kitten. It's just like taking care of a baby, iisn't it?" Rose spoke thoughtfully.<br/><br/>"Indeed it is. have a good day, miss." the officer nodded and left.<br/><br/>Now totally embarrased, Rose went directly to the pet store down the road. The officer followed her there but went on by. Rose took the kitten inside and a clerk came over to her.<br/>Before Rose was out of there, Spooky had a collar, leash and a cage plus more toys and a cat tower which needed to be put together. The cat tower was enormous when Rose tried to get it in the back of the jeep.<br/>Now with a sigh, Rose went home and took the carrier with the kitten yowling all the way to the apartment. He alerted the neighbors who came out to see what was the matter. The only fortunate thing that happened was two guys volunteered to bring the cat tower up and even put it together. She treated them to a pizza dinner with hopes that was the end of the whole thing.<br/><br/>After Rose was able tp chase the guys out, she locked the door and placed the alarm back under the door knob. She grabbed some wine and sat down to watch Spooky run, jump and climb his new tower.
