KITTY!

I got a CAT! A 7 month old kitten. He is ORANGE and STRIPEY with yellow eyes and white boots and his name is Handsome, though I have been calling him Boots. And he was kind of traumatized when we brought him home, and still a bit jumpy, but now he's been exploring everywhere and getting his damn kitty nose into everything. And he likes sleeping right between your legs, or in the crook of your knees at night. Which is really really sweet except they you're afraid to move for fear of squishing the cat. And he spends huge amounts of time up on the top of the TV, or the top of my tall bookshelf, or on top of those high cupboards all around the kitchen. Or on the windowsill. And he talks at you, and rolls about and chases little wadded up balls of plastic wrap on a string. And he's adorable. And he uses the litterbox without needing to be housetrained (what? I've only had dogs. This is a miracle, to me). He doesn't follow you around like a puppy, which I miss, and doesn't really want to be pet or to cuddle, but he comes running when you make kissy noises, which you have to do a lot because he can hide in very small places. And he almost fell into the toilet, trying to explore. Which was cute.









Random: I just spent an hour and a half being interviewed by a PhD student doing her dissertation on gifted education and the long-term effects of early college entrance programs. I am not sure I'm the best representation, y'know? Hopefully my personal failures do not reflect poorly on EEP. But it was cool. Way to make me feel special.
