here's hoping john was right about the whole instant karma thing mamacat still hadn't eaten last night and i was worried, watching her babies clamber over her for more milk. i gave her a lovely little mix of wet kitten food and tuna, which she ignored for an hour. so i fed her. a 13-year vegetarian, sitting on the bathroom floor, towel-wrapped cat in her lap, using her fingers to stuff mystery meat (+ tuna) in that little mouth. then we cleaned out her ears.

as a testament to what a good cat she is, she sat through the whole thing looking as miserable as you can imagine, but never trying to hurt me. kitten would've torn my arms to shreds three minutes into the whole ordeal.

so back to john lennon. shouldn't i be winning the lottery about now? if i do, i'm definitely going to pay someone else to get covered in iams and ear mites.

also, for the record, i'm not a cat person! a guy in my office was just bad mouthing me for being a cat person. luckily, it was just to his dog and i think the dog strictly speaks hebrew, so no worries there. but hey, i'm not a cat person! i'm an animal person. equal opportunity. if i had a flock of starving flamingos living in the parking lot next to my place, you bet your ass i'd be giving them whatever it is flamingos eat (crustaceans, i know).  ¶ 12:33 PM
