interesting stuff. totally incomprehensible to me, but interesting. on another subject: does anybody need a kitten? Prout just called in whilst acquiring 5 - count 'em - 5 kittens. says they're very cute. all kittens at 6 weeks of age, which these may well be, or a little less, are cute. 3 blackish ones and two grey ones. all doubtless females. i am of the opinion that all kittens are born female and a certain (small) percentage of them become male just to keep the species going.
Have four cats already!
More kittens?! Egads! We have plenty, thanks.
Minerva is more confidant about her place in the family and has begun to jump into our bed.
Yesterday, she hopped up, sat on my hair (pinning me to the bed), and purred lavishly. Being an understanding sort, I scratched and patted.
She was very happy. She was so happy, that she let off some ungodly gaseous anomaly...right...on...my...head!
I'm trying to think of it as a sign of love and affection. GACK!!!!
