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!

Cancer will get anyone, if they live long enough.

Took kidney failure and TWO cancers to take out our Baxter! And then his friend and wrasslepartner Ivan got nasal cancer shortly after... I'm unkeen on it when it strikes before 15, though. I know that when cats hit 15, the warranty runs out, BUT.
