The Kitten-ful Life

Posted on September 28th, 2007 by Sacha Chua

One of my friends has the absolutely best setup for kittendom. She
fosters kittens for the Toronto Human Society, taking in kittens and
raising them to be well-socialized, adoptable, absolutely adorable
kitties. This is not an easy job. I remember raising the
KittenWhoMustNotBeNamed (now called Neko or Catastrophix, depending on
whether you ask me or my sister). Waking up every four hours to feed
the kitten, getting used to the ever-present smell of soy milk or
kitty chow, trying to teach the kitty not to bite (no luck)… But
kittens are so adorable, and I’m sure jz will get _plenty_ of nice
pictures… Too bad W- is allergic to cats and dogs. Envy!
