I adopted my kittens, Mila and Ollie (formerly Maralynn and Macon),
from Petsmart in late July 2008. Whilst I'm responsible for providing
food, excrement disposal, healthcare, and feet to pounce in the middle
of the night, they seem to have set their own obligations as well!
For instance, every night they journey into my room from their game of
Predator and Prey to "tuck me into bed". After I begin dozing away, I
can, at times, feel the pressure rise off of whatever area they were
laying on to resume their game. It's quite hysterical. They also
play greeter at the door after my long days of teaching and
extracurriculars. Further, I may wake from sleep or naps to a nice
grooming on my legs and arms (and sometimes armpits, though we are
trying to curtail such unbecoming activities). In a few months, they
will help me break-in our newly built house in Somerton!
And just a PS: If you are leery of the "stray" label placed on kittens
and cats, let my testimonial ease your fears: Mila and Ollie were
brought into the Humane Society as strays.
