Up is actually wonderful, but there's a bit at the beginning that's like Toy Story levels of unfair cry-button pushing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Mister Kitty gave me one of his rare looks of WTF you freaky human? as I put him in.
I do have to monitor his weight. But I might move to something less insulting than a bowl. It was convenient. All the cardboard boxes are in the basement.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Glad you know how to fall well, sara. It's a good skill to have. I think I lost it.
Laundry washing now, the dress soaked up a fair amount.
Silver lining is free soap? Yeah, not so much.

Thrive to spite them
I did't think about weighing the cats on a kitchen scale. I just stand on the scale holding one of them and then weigh myself without the cat.

The one people scale I have is pretty old and suspect. And since MK has gotten so small and off the insulin for a couple weeks, I really need to track losses of under a pound. Luckily, the largest kitchen scale at Target is 11 lbs. Perfect. He was a lb higher at the vet's at intake, but I'm going to attribute that diff to different scales and establish this as the household baseline.

My scale is nowhere near accurate enough. Best I hope for with my scale is a five pound range when I weigh myself.

Good plan. It's not the exact number so much as the general trend information that I end up needing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am so totally putting the kitten in a bowl on the kitchen scale just as soon as he gets here. Just because I can.

Be prepared for a seriously judging look. MK is SOOO laid back. But this was beyond his ken.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am on vacation! I still have several hours of stuff to do, like pack, and I have to be up at 4:30, and the cat sitter forgot to tell me how much I should leave her, but still, Vacation!
And I get to see Cashmere and Plei tomorrow!
