day 3 with a kitten and I fully understand why people look haunted in the cute photos

He is adorable. He is also made of springs and bad timing. Last night he tried to climb my pajama leg at 1:12am, then slept angelically through my alarm. I haven't eaten a meal sitting down since Tuesday. Anybody in the trenches right now, I see you

Week 3 was when mine discovered curtains, so if that hasn't happened yet, congratulations on your temporary peace.
