The induction of the kitten

Having a kitten is a bit like having a toddler.  The same energy, maybe even
more so, the same delight, and so much anxiety about what the kitten could 
get into or knock down next. I've probably talked about this before, but with
an animal at less than a pound with the speed of lightning, keeping Monique
our kitten safe is quite the job.

On the upside (if you're not a cat person skip this post) a few minutes ago 
Monet (our four year old girl cat, and Monique our 14 week old girl kitten)
were lying together on one of the kitchen chairs together. This only lasted
 a few minutes, but it was progress.

Monique wants to be friends with Monet.  And we got the kitten so Monet
would have a friend So. That may happen. This photo was staged of course.
The interesting thing (to us), was that Monet wanted back on Steven's knee
with the kitten after I tooK the shot. It didn't happen. But hey!

Have a loving your life day!
