Looks like it’s back to work with me tomorrow. What started as bronchitis, and ended up as asthmatic flare up has had me home for more than a week. Two trips to medicos. The meds have kicked in and made me forget about breathing (trust me that’s a good thing!) and finally let me sleep. My sleep pattern is a little messed with, mostly due to the several sleepless, coughing nights.
There was the bonus of seeing the 3hbc (three honking big cats) watch and follow the new kitten. I tried to stay out of it. Better to let them come nose to nose on their own power. When you hold kitten up to boss cat, kitten gets slapped but good, and it should have been me getting slapped around for my own silliness.
On that front Archie and Razzie are up to a bit of ear-licking and nose to nose contact. I see Deirdre getting closer and watching closely. She doesn’t slap the little one every time she comes too close. Often just a flick of the ear sends the little one on her way.
So a week gone to being sick with a few moments of goodness – did a lot of reading, a bit of cutting etc. A lot of being climbed on, nibbled by, clung to by small black **unnamed** cat.
Part of my reading was in search of cat names. The bonus there was a fast overview of much mythology and many interesting names.
So hard to find a name that fits a kitten barely formed that will last into the time she’s big and honking too. Right now she looks like a small, elfin bat at times, chewing everything, climbing and leaping everything. But a silly name doesn’t seem fair to something likely to grow up sleek and elegant.
Naming things is just an awesome responsibility! I soldier on with a couple possibilities (one made up) tucked away.
