sudden bout of interspecies mothering cont'd


somehow the universe is making me feel universal motherhood [is this an experience i need?]: sudden responsibility for a new life and the resultant worry, joy and instant identity of it all----as well as sleep deprivation.

this morning at 3:30 am i was jolted awake by sudden, extreme white noise...or white water to be more exact. half asleep, i assumed i was dreaming it, but i wasn't! the water filter hooked into the main pipe cracked; so, all the considerable pressure was unleashed against the wall, furiosly bouncing against the hollow door of the closet containing the pipes----all of which was 2 ft away from my sleepy head! without that door i most likely would've drowned, inhaling a river of water in my sleep. my room in the basement is out of order---under water---for the second time in 3 months...hint, hint?



 for the third night in a row, my baby kitten slept in the window well. lifting him out, i am mother! this morning was no different...i suppose i keep expecting his real feline mother to take him back....i suppose he thinks the same thing....he was never so happy as when i appeared with actual feline milk [in a can from the pet store]. his whole demeanor changed after ingesting it---frisky and energetic! i tried to capture the friskiness in this series of photos...


someone is supposed to take him on monday---i wonder how i'll [we'll both] feel about that after all of this bonding?
