K'vitsh, you may as well just skip this one

The vet thinks that Bella Sook is between 10 and 12 months old – so she surely remembers snow. And if she was truly a stray for most of her life, then there is reason to believe that she remembers the cold and misery of an ffice:smarttags" />Edmonton winter. Now, considering her uber cuteness, I have trouble believing she was more than two months without a home. But it started to snow tonight and ever since she’s been at the window. That is, until one of us walks by when all of a sudden she’s between our feet meerping and purring and looking up with that expression of “don’t send me back out there – I’m too cute to go.” Not that its even an option. I can hear S talking to her in soft tones as they do the laundry together. He makes certain she is comfortable before he goes to bed. He laments the fact that she won’t snuggle on the sofa.

She, meanwhile, has realized that she is flexible enough to stand in one place and twist her spine 180 degrees to better get into places she shouldn’t. We watched – and took pictures ‘cause it was so bizarre – her climb up the shelves in my closet this way.

And while she won’t sit with us on the sofa, she will crawl underneath it and sit right below us. And then climb up the back when she’s ready to see what we’re doing.

On Tuesday she’s going in to be fixed. S asked what that would entail, and I told him. For a man who wasn’t squeamish about getting snipped himself, the fact that someone is going to cut into the kitten was almost too much.

I don't know what you're talking about - I loved that entry.
What do you mean you're listening to the CBC guilt-free? Why wouldn't you be?

I wasn't sure how excited you would be by an entry entirely devoted to the cat.
I felt guilty listening to the CBC while the strike was on - I mostly kept it to Radio Canada as the Quebecers weren't on strike. I take strikes very seriously and the idea of partaking in the service when the workers are complaining about the way they are treated just feels wrong. P pointed out that if we didn't use the service, the management would simply say that its proof no one uses the service anyway so why pay anyone well? So I listened, felt bad and now listen guilt free.
Damn. Could I be more wordy?
