Have finished watching The Way We Were.
Now I understand.
On totally different subject, am getting quite handy at Kitten-Mothering with Much-Missed Roommate being absent. With only one terrifying human to contend with, Reluctant Kitten is now spending much less time beneath bed/couch/table/anything stationary and low-lying. Have learned several, v. important Kitten-Mothering lessons in last week alone:
1) Be satisfied with Reluctant Kitten's vocal attempts to get Fish out of bed for breakfast. Later attempts will not be as pleasant and will most likely involve pouncing and/or biting.
2) Houseplants are for tearing apart. Is rule of nature not to be messed with.
3) Expensive sweaters make preferred Kitten Toys. Is useless to buy do-dads made specifically for Kitten. Will not be appreciated. Even if contain Catnip.
4) Do not ignore Kitten. See Lesson one (1) about biting.
Have just returned from yet another successful shopping excursion. Folks at Gap would like to thank yours truly personally for keeping them aloft during these economically difficult times. No sweat. My pleasure.
