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.
