Time for a kitty update

swatkatI'm still thinking about that boy, about myself, and whole lot of other philosophical things, and feeling very disturbed. So I'll talk about kittens indeed. There's nothing like three beautiful kittens to lift your spirits. *g*
That's right. I finally got to visit my grandfather this weekend, and therefore, the kittens. I wish I could do it more often – he's very old, semi-invalid, and doesn't have a lot of time left with us. *sigh*
Anyway, on with the kittens…
There are three kittens, not four – they *thought* there were four. They are beautiful. They're fat and fluffy and run around in a way you wouldn't believe was possible for one month old kitties. One of them is white, with a black spot near his left ear, and pretty black tail. He's the laziest kitten I've ever seen – while his sisters run around and fight and play with each other, he prefers to sit quietly and observe everything around him. He doesn't make a single sound when someone picks him up, just stares at that person with his enormous eyes. The second one is black and white (and I *love* black and white cats), and she's the most talkative of the lot. She starts mewing for no particular reason every five minutes, and loves biting people's fingers. The other one is white, with orange and brown spots all over her body. She's the leader of the gang – very curious, very friendly and eager to explore. It's too early to say if they're evil or not, but they sure have worn out their poor mum. Poor thing has become positively skinny. Nothing a good feeding can't cure, though. *g*
I can't begin to tell you how tempted I was to bring one of them along with me, but they're too young. And when I get to meet them next, they'll probably not remember me. *sigh*
Speaking of memories, dogs seem to have pretty amazing memories. My aunt's new puppy (she's the craziest dog I've ever met) remembered me very well, although she's only six months old, and we've met only twice before. *g*
Even thinking about them makes me smile.

jaybee65, I had a Snapefic by pogrebin recced here and a Riddlefic by moondanger here that you might like. *g*

And now, a question for you non-DONs: do you believe that Nikita 'needlessly' made a 'martyr' of herself when she accepted that key from Daddy? (Yes, that's a quote) Why? You already know what I think, but I'm asking it anyway because I just saw someone mention it and it bothered me a lot more than it usually does. *g*

Hmm. I don't really think of Nikita as martyr, myself.

Personally - I have no qualms that she made the right choice. That this is the choice Jones counted on her making is irritating, but not all that much.
Did the person who asked the question think there was some fourth choice that I haven't noticed yet?

I asked, but she backtracked and avoided answering the question. See, this is why I love the FFMB - people aren't afraid of standing by their opinions. *g*
Come to think of it, maybe she actually does think that Nikita is a 'martyr' in accepting the key.
