This far, Lady Kitty Ethel spends a great deal of her time in a most unladylike state of grunting and snuffling.

She’s doing her sole job as Baby. She’s appropriately placing all her efforts into getting practiced at eating, sleeping and moving her body about. Altogether it amounts to an awful lot of grunt work. It, however, belongs.

We’re aiming to be contented to sit by the fire together. She is content. I’m aiming to stay that way even amidst the 20 day doldrums. Spring will come. The virus will equilibrate. Lady Kitty will one day smile and coo. Meanwhile it’s a perfect day to spend together in our nest- putting in our necessary time of feeding/growing grunt work.
