I like what you have said, Donnavila Marie01. One kitten per household is allowed seems like a hypothesis.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:Do you know the story, "the three little pigs"? I prefer to consider that Kailey stayed with the couple because the purpose of the kittens, was to find for a new home but the rule is, one kitten per household is allowed.

That's a good point about Kailey not feeling lonely. I just remember her being excited for her new sleeping area, and then becoming friends with Sammy. I wonder, though, what happened to the rest of her siblings? I'm thinking they most might have gone in different directions.Amagine wrote:I also didn't get the sense that Kailey was bullied but I do agree that she didn't seem to have much kinship with them. I don't remember any scene in the book where she felt lonely after they left or particularly missed them.

I agree. It seems that every animal has its own unique personality just like people. So, this was where Kailey belonged. Apparently it was not where the other kittens belonged.hsimone wrote:This is interesting. I did not get the impression that the other five kittens bullied their sibling. I thought that Kailey just liked where she was and felt safe there at the farm, whereas the other kittens wanted to embark on a new journey, but not necessarily together.

Maybe the story teaches us another lesson of letting go and moving forward. We can not keep the people dear to us forever because they have their own lives.Amagine wrote:I also didn't get the sense that Kailey was bullied but I do agree that she didn't seem to have much kinship with them.

That could be case. It's a sad lesson though especially if the other kittens were Kailey's family and she doesn't see them ever again.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:Maybe the story teaches us another lesson of letting go and moving forward.

Also, I don't think that Kailey was bullied by the others, its just that she liked the farm and the couple living there.
