Kitten Typography
Disclaimer: I am NOT a cat person…. but Numenius says we’re working on me.
I took the kittens into work today at the request of my coworkers. (Also at work today were a riparian brush rabbit and a wood rat, but no dogs, unlike most days.) The kittens are tired out after a long day of playing.
We have fenced them into the bathroom so we could go in and out without their escaping. They figured out how to climb the fence within, oh, about five minutes (see right). This business of keeping them enclosed is pointless.
My head is full of photo captions to shots I wasn’t able to take: kitten on tandem. Kitten in telescope. Kitten under rocking chair. Kitten in Kinko’s box. Kitten on algebra book with tampon. Kitten(s) in, or on, REI paper bag. Kitten wrestling with clean laundry. Kitten looking longingly outside through the screen before being pounced on by sibling.
I think we’ve found homes for them, or at the very least, backup homes in case they’re unclaimed. I’m feeling optimistic.
- I especially would like to see the kitten on algebra book with tampon – there’s an advertsement on TV here with that very theme – kitten playing with a whole pack of tampons. Hope they go to good homes!— Jenny 4. June 2004, 23:33 Link
- The house has been quiet all week, what with kittens and children gone. Mid-week, a serious discussion ensued chez nous over adopting Diego or Babette or Louis or Charlie and it was decided that Eloise will continue reigning as queen at this house. But I miss them. It’s lovely that you have found homes. They’re too sweet. I enjoy the photos and captions and mailed the Feathers of Hope link for Alexandria to open and enjoy too.— virginia 5. June 2004, 06:51 Link
