If you need love, I've got enough to cover you

Due to the hecticity of the week, it transpires that yesterday was actually the tenth anniversary of Kittening Day, when our household became home to the kittens of destiny who would grow into cats of legend. Hestia is celebrating the day observed with plenty of Bird Theater after dining on kippers, the coveted human food. Her brother will always be in memory, the shadow-weight on my shoulder. They were so tiny and so much themselves, that decade ago.

Happy Kittening! Hestia is a lovely cat, and Autolycus is the stuff of legend.

For dessert just now, she triumphantly hunted and devoured a bug!

Hestia is the goddess of a bug-free hearth!

You absolutely have one kitten immediately present and one purring on your shoulder in a less obvious state. *offers you hugs* *also offers Hestia ear scritches*

*shudders* Blurgh. Um, enjoy the dessert, Hestia.

Um, enjoy the dessert, Hestia.

She has been a bug hunter from her earliest days. Within her first month with us, I watched her deliver a killing bite to a bluebottle.

Happy kittening day! I salute the slayer of very small dragons and remember tenderly your shoulder cat, the counselor and comfort of your heart.

Thank you! She seemed to, although of course an hour later she was persuading me she had never been fed.

I remember your posts about first getting them, and the time early on when Autolycus tried to open a bottle (he didn't have the grip strength, but he had the concept of unscrewing the cap down pat).

Kittening day! Bird Theater and coveted human food is the perfect celebration for the kitten in question, now all grown up to a cat.

He never lost his love of bottlecaps. He would hunt them all across the floor singing and then he would put them in his mouth with his paws and carry them around the house and stash them under the couch or drop them meaningfully in front of a person to have them tossed into the air so that he could catch them on the wing.

A belated happy Kittening Day, bittersweet as it is.
