About a year and a half ago, maybe two they got two little kittens to raise. Pets are good, our family always had animals of some sort about. The cats were quite small when they got them and my niece got into the mind set of thinking them adorable little balls of fur. Cats get bigger though and they get bigger unevenly. Which means they are forever getting into little pissing matches to see which is the top cat. Now with people that would be interpreted as a colorful metaphor perhaps not entirely appropriate for a family-usability enabled web log. Anyone who has lived with a cat in a house knows - that ain't no metaphor. The other weekend one of the two (whose names are Lothlorian - Lori for short, and Lee) came to understand in a gun cotton flash of cat insight that neither one of them is the alpha kitty; it is Nicole. Nicole! Pourer of food pellets in the bowl of life, scratcher of the back of head and ears. She who picks us up and she who puts us down, sister to He who keeps laying down yu gi oh (sic) card matresses for us to sleep on. So one of the kitties leaves a half eaten mouse next to her bed; just the head, heart, and lungs, carefully licked clean and left as a little love token to their ruler. My niece screams on finding this plinth tribute laid down for for her. Screams loudly. It takes a while to convince her that this was intended as a gift, and a token of feline esteem. It's probably just as well she has never seen Godfather I. She is inclined to think she does not want to be the household Princip Augustus. The hardest part was coming to see the purring, tail tapping things that could once be held in the palm of her hand as a sharp fanged killer. It's an adjustment to make. Little lamb who made thee dost thou know who made thee? gave the life and bid thy feed? by the stream and o'er the mead... - - - Tyger! Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry... And what shoulder and what art could twist the sinews of thy heart? Well, I hope Blake's gone off copyright. 9:53:33 AM    comment [];trackback [];
