Kitteh update. Today is a big day for Tita, she is off at the vet getting her mama parts removed. Not sure she would care but she will never star in a 3am opera or watch bored while a dozen suitors fight and howl or bring a litter of gatitos into this hard world.

She will continue to rule over 3 large dogs and take her rightful place on the largest bed so they can all jam up on the other ones.

She will continue to stalk iguanas through the window with her best pal, Cuba.

She will continue to enthrall Mimi and I with her unending cuteness and she will no doubt continue to refuse to acknowledge the babytalk and endless cooing that comes from her hoomans when under her influence.

She has learned that the humans do not like to play when the lights are out and they are sleeping and she tries to refrain from biting the bits that stick up out of the covers. Sometimes they twitch or move and it's just impossible not to jump and give a nip. She has learned to take off fast after that though, because the humans bat their big paws and knock her off the bed if she's slow.

She is endlessly fascinated by that room the humans go to with all the water things that gurgle and swish. Just because she batted at something disappearing in the whirlpool shouldn't mean she is forever locked out of the water room, should it? She thinks if she just gets her paws under the door the right way, she will be back inside again.

If not, there's always the other water room and sleeping with your head on the faucet.

Tita just arrived home from the vet, she's fine. She's a little groggy still and can't walk a straight line but she's safe and healthy and sleeping it off.
