It's been very quiet around here the last few weeks. Perhaps too quiet. About all I have to report on the health front is that I have developed a radiation burn on my back where the protons went in. It's like a bad sunburn. Hopefully it will ease soon.
In other news, Proton the kitten is growing fast and is a source of great joy and, occasionally, anxiety (see picture). He is very good at snuggling but not so good at using the various scratching pads and posts scattered around the house—even when these are dosed with catnip. He seems to be immune to catnip, and the furniture is suffering as a result.

I'm disappointed in how little research has been done on why catnip even works on (some) cats. But a quiet start to autumn is just how it should be. I recently came across a webcomic titled "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" and based on the pictures showing him strolling between red, orange, and yellow trees, or reading a book by a blazing fire, it seems that he did.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's great! I will endeavor to have a great fall too!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to ask if Proton gets along with your other fur children? I'm really behind, I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteNot so very well, but they're making progress on coexistence.
