Within an hour and a half, Sylvia had settled into her new home. Sometimes, you find out quickly that your instincts are the right ones. I still think both of us made the right call a decade ago.

The right call
On June 30, 2008, I made one of the best decisions of my life--to adopt a sweet, eager-to-purr tabby cat named Sylvia. Ten years later, I'm looking back on her first day and realizing that Sylvia's adjustment to her new home fell into four phases:
Phase one: Sitting behind the clothes rack.
Phase two: Hiding under the sofa.
Phase three: Sitting on my lap while staring me in the face. (To her credit, Sylvia progressed from phase two to phase three in record time.)
Phase four: Claiming the sofa and the remotes.
Within an hour and a half, Sylvia had settled into her new home. Sometimes, you find out quickly that your instincts are the right ones. I still think both of us made the right call a decade ago.
