My little Mittens is growing up. Last Saturday, Sept. 24, she turned 6 months. On Monday evening, she went into heat for the first time. So she's spent the past several days alternately walking around crying until she tires herself out, then sleeping. The only problem is that she seems to do a lot of the walking-about-crying part in the middle of the night, so the rest of us are getting seriously sleep-deprived. We're planning to spay her, but the contract specifies between 7 and 8 months, so we have to wait until November. I've already requested vacation time in between proofing deadlines so I can stay home and keep her from untying her stitches.
For now, though, it's time to take Freddie for his walk, and then play with Mittens and try to wear her out. I can't neglect Freddie and Romana just because Mittens needs a little extra attention.
No one ever said being a mom is easy.
