This week suffered a disruption of the most adorable possible kind. On Sunday evening, I brought home – earlier than expected – two baby kittens. As a result, the last few days have been all out of whack as I and two little white fluff balls adapt to a new way of living. Emotionally, I’m a little frustrated at the derailment, a frustration heightened by the over all emotionality of suddenly being responsible for two tiny lives.
But while this is a temporary time sink, I am certain that in the long run it is a benefit. Overall, cats are fairly low maintenance for the emotional benefit they provide (for me at least, I grew up with cats and have wanted one as a pet for awhile) – and I brought these home as a pair specifically because they are sisters and can serve as company for each other when my attention is elsewhere.
