Soon, it became clear that Carrot was like Bailey in other ways. I asked the girls what we should name her, and Abigail shouted out, ‘Carrot!’ So it stuck.” “Our baby, 8-month-old Claire, was crazy about Carrot from the start. At 8 weeks old we adopted her.” Erin surprised her daughters Abigail and Hannah with the kitten for their birthday in the summer of 2019. “We met her at the foster home for the first time when she was 7 weeks old. “She was one of five kittens: three boys, two girls,” Erin says. (Orange cats are usually, but not always, male.) Like Bailey, this kitten was orange but unlike Bailey, she was a female. Did Erin and the girls want to visit with the kittens? As it turns out, one of those kittens stood out.
One of Bailey’s followers was fostering a cat who had recently delivered a litter. Bailey’s fans mourned his loss, but the family who loved him, which includes Erin, her husband and daughters Abigail and Hannah, was heartbroken. He even inspired a book, Bailey, No Ordinary Cat. Bailey had built up a loyal social media following and been the star of viral videos with Erin’s daughter Abby singing and reading to him. When Erin Merryn said goodbye to her cat, Bailey, in December 2018, she couldn’t imagine finding another cat even close to her feline best friend.
