Kitten Little, Psycho as my husband calls her, reminds me to think about human life from time to time.
She is curious, alive, frisky, with something to learn from the world. Yet, when it is time to rest, she renews her soul and body cells with the slumber that is needed.
We were probably designed to be the same way. We should remain curious, like a youngster, eager to learn new things, nearly always ready to look at our world, the gift of life, with a fresh set of eyes.
Then, when it is time to rest, we should enable our minds to shut it all off, and truly slip away with little effort.
Thank you, Kitten Little, for your company, your subtle reminders. We have a lot to learn from you and others like you!
-Kitten Little is 9 weeks old. She hasn’t had a bottle since her 5th week in life. She had her 2nd vet visit today, came out with flying colors. Now she is resting, recovering from a busy morning traveling in the pet carrier (meowing her pleas to be let out), and forgetting about her unpleasant shots.-
Stop that, Mary!
I want a kitten or two.
But then I don’t.
You make it hard for me to say no.
I need to go visit my friend who has 7 cats.
That will cure my urge to get one or two of my own.
Oh and I wish I could turn it all off when bedtime rolls around. Sometimes it’s hard to get to sleep because my mind won’t stop.
When I wrote the post I thought about me, and all of the others that have a hard time shutting the brain down. Some say “just shut it off.” I am still working on that concept. Kitten Little seems to have it down pat. You know as well as I do, we function so much better when we sleep soundly. Perhaps we need lessons?
I’m taking care of 5 orphan kittens right now.

Hi Amy, I hope they are all healthy and doing well.
Awe Kitten Little is cute and lucky to have found you!

She really is doing well. From a woman that mumbled, “I don’t want to have to bottle feed kittens.” To being attached to this one, the sole survivor, it is something else. We have bonded.
Enjoy your weekend, Melissa! Many happy soaping days!
