Do you want to hear a secret?
My kitten
Is not really a kitten.
He's a "big-boned" 6 year old.
He doesn't have his wide-eyed innocence and wonder he had at the age of 2 months.
His fur has grown softer, and his boney legs have filled out with fat.
But I find myself stuck in a time of 5 years ago.
5 years ago when I had a grumpy, old kitty and a wild, wirey-haired kitten.
I miss that easier time when I felt happy and worry free.
So I'll try to pretend I'm back there in any form I can.
So I'll keep calling my kitten my kitten.
Because that's what he is.
