as you may know, i have a cat. she is the loveliest little cat in the world, i think. it breaks my heart to think that when i first got her, she was so scared of everything that the noise of me taking a shower would send her scurrying under my bed for hours. now, however, we are great friends and she has captured the heart of her "grandparents" such that when i say i'm coming home for thanksgiving, they ask "would your little friend like to come, too?" and i have to explain that she's not really a weekend traveler.
anyway, the dearest thing she does is this: while not generally not interested in sitting on my lap for long periods of time, she does like to be constantly touching me. so while i sit here, typing, she rests her little tail on my wrist and twitches it ever so gently. like so:
it's so sweet that it almost makes me forget that i came home from a long day of work yesterday to find kitty puke waiting for me on the carpet.

That is unbelievably endearing. So excited to see you at the end of the month!! I think last time I saw you the kitty never came out. Maybe now she will.
kate, it is really the sweetest thing in the world. her tail is practically prehensile. also, her social skills have improved greatly, so i suspect you will get to visit with her when you come up!
