birth announcements

handing out candy cigars - twelfth of february, 2003

"don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up?"~ani difranco

i feel bad because you made soup for dinner and you worked all afternoon chopping vegetables and fresh herbs; simmering and sauteeing. i feel bad because your soup was so good and flavorful and perfect on the most windy and chilled of our winter nights so far and i was distracted.

but she was giving birth, dammit...and i had to watch. she was squeezing out kittens and crying out in a cat's voice of labor and, even though she's been mean and hormonal to us for months now, i still felt like i had to sit there and watch and just make sure she made it through okay and that the little ones were safe, too.

so i apologize. your soup was fantastic but i think i might have forgotten to tell you because of all that was going on in the house. the torellini were tender and the vegetables were perfect. and you can cook me dinner any time you like. i trust you.

and just for the record, i counted six beautiful little floppy-eared wonders curled up in the box on the blanket this morning. not even a day old....

i think i could quite possibly be more of a cat person than i ever suspected. and i know the dog is falling in love with them, too. one big happy family.
