kitty update

I realized I've been strangely, almost superstitiously silent on how the Most Important Kitty in the World* is doing. Now that he's coming home tonight, it feels safe to talk about it more. He's got damaged kidneys, but he's got a lot of fight left in him; he certainly seems to want to stick around for quite a while longer, and I'm absolutely fine with that. We're going to have to treat him with subcutaneous saline injections to make sure there's enough fluid in his system, but it's a small price to pay for more happy kitty time. His satisfaction levels only seem to be growing, and based on how much more we're planning on spoiling him, I hope that continues to grow. He's not even trying to pretend that he doesn't take comfort from me, which is cute, but I expect his cool, suave facade to fall back into place in time. I'm cool with that.

it's blog against sexism day, apparently

Digby nails it today.

If abortion is murder, why don't anti-choicers support seeking the death penalty for women who get them? Why aren't there any cries making it illegal to transport a pregnant woman across state lines for the purposes to get an abortion?

Read Digby, who is a whole lot more focused and articulate on this and all matters.
