I’ve had my kitten Meadow for just about five weeks, though it already feels like she’s always been a part of my family. People have always told me cats are great company, and now I definitely agree.
It’s fun to have someone else around, even when she is getting into trouble. My place definitely looks a little more lived in: cat toys and other things she’s taken an interest in lying around, dirt pawed out of the plants, and grains of litter kicked around the bathroom. (I did pick up a good tip on the plants: put a layer of small stones over the dirt. Looks a little more elegant, too.)
I’ve had to get a bit better about defending my food; we’re still working on the concepts of “people food” vs “cat food”. But she more than makes up for the trails, by making a nice nest out of my lap while I’m on the couch or in front of the computer. (I’m one secret volcano away from becoming a Bond villian!)
