Today,
I’m inspired by my cats. Less than a week ago, we adopted a new kitten, Pele.
She’s been bunking in her daddy’s office while the big girls, Morgana and Luna,
get used to the new addition. Tonight, they finally met face to face. Or
rather, the baby hung out in the carrier while the other two stalked around to
observe (and hiss at) her.
Do
you know what Pele did? She scrambled to the front of the carrier and scratched
to be let out so she could play with them. We didn’t name her after a fire
goddess for nothing! She’s absolutely fearless, as displayed by this incident as
well as this morning’s antics: she climbed all the way to the top of her cat
tower for the first time despite being unable to climb back down. Sure, she had
to ask for help in returning to the ground, but it won’t deter her from doing
it again!

And
let’s not forget Morgana and Luna, who came to check out - then lay down next to - this new alien
addition to our home even though they certainly had misgivings. I don’t always
deal with inevitable changes in my life nearly as well as these little 6-pound (and
tiny 1.8 pound) balls of fluff are doing! You can either rise to the challenge
and climb to the top of your tower (even if you don’t know what to do next) or
you can hide under the bed… figuratively speaking.
