It’s been one of those weeks. Long days at work. Busy weekend working. To say I’m tired is an understatement. But it was also a good week. I got a lot accomplished so there’s that.
An update on the mama cat, who we now call Matilda, the black kitten, who will henceforth be known as Schrodinger and our Frankie, the runt, who is now already 5 and a half pounds of spitfire. They are all healthy and thriving. Matilda was spayed – no more kittens for her and Schrodinger is scheduled for his neuter in a few weeks. I had been making great strides with Matilda until the spay. She is a grudge holder, it seems, and is slowly warming up to me again. It’s a good thing I am patient. As for Schrodinger? He is proving just as elusive as he was under our porch. Finding, I’m guessing, a perfect nook to hide in. He lives up to his name. This weekend we also helped transport a very pregnant mama beagle to her foster home. She was found in a shelter and rescued, thank goodness.
In a world where kindness is hard to come by, I try to do my part every day, not only with human folk, but with the least among us. Creatures big and small. The homeless, the hungry, the innocent. It gives me purpose. It connects me to what is important. Kindness. We need it more now than ever.
Have a wonderful week! ❤️
Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 15 September 2019
terror
move on
set up defenses
adorned in golden mist
gray clouds heavy with rain
we’re expected to outgrow
swevens

A ReVerse poem is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time. I use it as a review of the previous week.

Bless you for saving mama beagle and taking her to a foster home. I love the name Shrodinger for a cat, how cool is that. Glad all creatures great and small are doing well at your place, Kat.

Thank you Peter. So far so good. I’m thinking the last two will always a little bit wilder than the runt. We got her young enough to make a difference. But our other cats are ok with all of them. They’re seniors (2 at 18 years and 1 at 16). That was my main worry. Our animals think nothing of a few more. 😉

Thank you Nina. These three join our three senior cats, three dogs and a sun conure. I live in a zoo, but wouldn’t have it any other way! I love them all. Have a great week yourself! 🙂
