It's a reasonable sacrifice

[sovay]

The cats are six months old today.

For their half-birthday, we gave them warm goat's milk with a little cinnamon and honey. (movingfinger had seen it sold as a cat treat in pet stores. It's more or less what I drink at night, except I don't add cinnamon.) We knew they liked plain goat's milk, but we weren't sure how the fancier version would go over.

They liked it.

Happy half-birthday, wonderful cats. Long may you hunt through our hallways at night and sleep on my hands when I'm typing.

Recently, I had been eating a slice of toast at breakfast, with rather good honey.

Mac, we learn, is fond of rather good honey. He took to sitting by my feet waiting for me to set my empty plate on the floor, for him to clean it. (This because Karen wouldn't let him jump on the table, and I wouldn't let him clean the plate before it was empty.) There was also toast, of course - he's fond of toast - and butter too, but we have scientifically established the importance of the honey: this last week I've been having marmalade instead. He has no interest in marmalade, and the disappointment shows in every stompy footfall as he abandons the unclean plate, after waiting and everything.

(Also, do they sing as they hunt through your hallways? Mac serenades his kills. Sometimes in the very bedroom.)

ADORABLE.

And for instance, those original photos were--or at least, the first one was--2048 pixels across in the original, but displays when you click on it at 600 pixels across, and in the grid, when we see all of the photos at once, at 267 pixels across. That gives you an idea of relative size.

I have never heard of cats that liked cinnamon or honey. I mean, I never tried it on Abbie because he never begged for anything with either in it. And I probably wouldn't have given him honey because I would have expected him to get all over himself or something.

Possibly your kittens do not know that cats don't eat cinnamon or honey. Or maybe they do not know they are cats?
