Oh, listen—you eclipse them

[sovay]

The other pertinent fact about today is that it was the fifth birthday of our wonderful catlets, whom we fed on salmon treats and made much of, for they have enriched our lives ever since they were tiny black soot sprites with tadpole spikes of tail. They purr and they prowl and they groom and they sleep; Autolycus watches movies with me; Hestia sings her songs of hunting the toilet paper. Every day in our house is better with cats in it. Many more, little cats!

Happy birthday to those little ones, whom I remember well!

Thank you for taking such good care of them along with their mother so that the stage was set for us to adopt cats who approached the world with trust and curiosity and the absolutely accurate knowledge that everyone who met them thought they were wonderful. No matter what else has happened in the last five years, I am endlessly grateful for these cats.
