Kitten update

[conuly]

With her sister for company, Nellie has decided she is scared of humans after all. Luckily, a little more food helped there, and once they'd eaten enough to make their tummies bulge out, I tossed around a cat toy for a bit, gave them something to do besides hide in a corner and avoid me. Kid Blink still isn't interested (though she's interested enough in food to get real close) but Nellie came and pet me a few times, and let me pet her so long as my hand wasn't at all in her face. I accidentally did that once and she bolted, and wouldn't come out again. Playtime is over, but I'll try another session in a few hours, before I go to bed. I'll also bring down some books and read there for a while. I'm contemplating the merits of sleeping down there. Pro: kittens can get used to me. Con: no a/c, and kittens are nocturnal. They might "get used to me" by jumping on my face!

Depending on the age, if they're non-stop run-run-run, you may end up being used as a launch pad and wake up covered in kitteh scratches. I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing, m'self. :)

Well, you're welcome to come to my house and try it out. Be warned, that bed is super uncomfortable. (LIKE OMG SO UNCOMFORTABLE I THINK THE FLOOR WOULD BE BETTER.)
