Got kitten formula.

Porch kitten is now MIA. This bodes ill, but kitten formula is always handy to have around. Told the girls not to open it until and unless they have a kitten in hand - replacement formula lasts a while unopened, but just like baby formula it goes bad pretty rapidly once you pop the top.

$20 for the formula, $23 for the new laser pointer (girls lost the other one, like, within a single day and we need it for SCIENCE), oy.

And now I've had to turn the furnace back on. Again. It's freaking June, weather, get it together already!
