A Tiny Tooth in the Food Bowl I found something unexpected in Friday’s food bowl: a tiny tooth. It was one of her baby canine teeth. Friday is officially losing her baby teeth and growing up. I knew kittens lost their baby teeth, of course. But actually finding one felt strangely exciting. Most of the time, I barely notice how fast she’s growing. And then suddenly there’s a little tooth in h...

Daytime Trouble, Nighttime Sweetheart Friday has a very specific arrangement with me: she gets to be a menace during the day, and I have to forgive her at night. During the day, she has important things to do. Like playing with her water bowl. Or making sure I never, ever close the bathroom door. Sometimes I feel like I spend half my day negotiating with a tiny creature who doesn’t understand...

The Very Selective Food Critic Eating in front of Friday is never a private activity. Whatever I’m having, she needs to investigate. A tortilla wrap? Interesting. Cheese and ham? Very interesting. Even a bell pepper deserves a thorough inspection. I don’t think she understands what human food is supposed to be. She just knows that if I’m eating it, it must be important. Friday conducting a...

Meet My Research Assistant I have a research assistant now. Her name is Friday, and unfortunately, she’s not very good at typing. Whenever I sit down at my desk, she decides it’s time for her to work too. She walks back and forth across my keyboard, investigates my laptop, and occasionally tries to repair my monitor. I haven’t figured out what was wrong with the monitor in the first place, bu...

The Day Friday Came Home I adopted Friday from the Richmond SPCA. When I first met her at the shelter, she was very shy and stayed tucked away in the corner. The first time I met Friday at Richmond SPCA. Friday also had a sister named Sara. Friday’s sister, Sara. A friend came to the shelter with me that day, and somehow we ended up leaving with one kitten each: my friend adopted Sara, an...
