Letter to Julia 20140828


In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Loving greetings, my beloved Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today, my most precious darlings?  I've had a lot of homework lately for sure, but it's also been raining a lot.  I prefer to warm up over having to cool down, so the weather has been awesomely comfortable for me.  So this morning I slept in after the dawn prayer until 11 am.  Alhamdulillah, I feel like a wealthy man.  But I'm not wealthy yet, just lazy.  I just want to snuggle with you and make love all day.  But I'm an old man, so I can't even so that.  I'm going to have to do drugs to keep up with one of you, let alone the both of you.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

It's been over 2 weeks of Kitten TV, and my kittens are still alive!  SubhanAllah!  Alhamdulillah!  LailahaillAllah!  Allahuakbar!  Actually, they seem to be doing quite well.  They can see now, so when I peer in on them while they're sleeping, they all open their eyes simultaneously, and I am greeted by 5 pairs of kitten sized cat eyes glowing at me.  They're also able to crawl now, so they've been able to escape the cave I made for them.  This cave is a box of dimensions 22" x 10" x 30" laid flat on its side, with air holes poked in on top, and draped with old sarongs to absorb moisture and moving air.  So the mouth of the cat cave is wide open, and the kittens have acquired the famous curiosity that cats are famous for, and have started crawling out then bawling when their little legs get tired.  So Mama Cat has more than a mouthful to keep the babies in their crib, after all she can only carry a mouthful at a time.  So I taped a 3 inch barrier at the mouth of the cat cave that their hind legs can't scale, so what is visible is 5 little kitten heads neatly arranged on top of the barrier.  Cute!  I love kittens!
