Seven Quick Takes and Nine Lives

One... We have a cat. For now at least.
Stray kitty needs a home. It may be us.

Two... she's gentle, but the two-year-old
is scared of her. That's probably just as well.

Three... we've had a lot of training sessions
on proper cat-stroking technique.

Four... he's scared to try them on the cat,
but he pets his baby brother beautifully.

Five... subtle differences matter.
Litterbox =/= sandbox, and vice versa.

Six... I'm glad for human cleverness.
Lidded litterboxes are good things.

Seven... thank God the baby hasn't yet
figured them out, but the clever kitty has.
