Still a kitten...

15 March 2025: In a kind of melancholy mood--which makes me extra grateful to have Veronica and Jo around. Jo has been especially delightful today, reminding me of all the way she might be two years old, but she is still a kitten at heart. 

It's hard to be gloomy when she's playing under the freshly-washed sheets are you put them on the bed, on her back--paws in the air. 

And she still finds new sources of wonder in the house. Today, she was fascinated by the thermostat, never interesting to her before, but now on her radar since I had to reset the "change filter" timer and she got to see a red light switch off.

As for Veronica--and I bet this makes me sound unreliable because why would she do it now?--but she seems to be getting a bit closer and friendlier lately. But, as always, I'll take her just as she is.
