The Kittens

We took the kittens into be spayed/neutered yesterday. Being young and healthy, they came through the ordeal as well as can be expected. I just hate the thought of the pain they endure. Veterinary science still hasn't come far enough--in my opinion--toward the treatment of pain.

We brought the groggy little buggers home and shut ourselves in the bedroom with them--watching videos as they slept off the anesthetics. We hope the enforced intimacy, the comforting, will help overcome their residual wildness. They *did* lay on me in weary little heaps most of the afternoon and evening, so perhaps they are starting to realize we aren't quite as fearsome as they have thought.
