   | Sad.  Settling and Sighing. 
 Anyhoo, so the endings happened and one of the first emergency things I did was procure my firstborn to see what element she would bring into the pack.
 Mark had been begging me to not make him a 3-cat man.  I hemmed and hawed and agreed she could visit.
 
 It's a visit.
 
 Zizi (Pawpads, Padz, Tanny, etc.) is in my apartment right now - unless she jumped out the window - which is her right.
 
 I gotta tell you people.  I feel like a totally unfeeling and fucked upper.
 It felt like having an intruder crowding my small space.  The litter box alone!  I trip over her food bowls.  She is lovely, and I keep calling her the old names "Mommy's Special Friend" and "Almost a Human Little Girl"; yet, I don't feel the feel.
 
 I feel like I'm obligated to play with her.  I feel like I have to make her comfortable.  I keep pretending she's scared and that everything will be OK, but in reality, I'm scared:
 
 Where did my feeling for this animal go?  Why am I such a freak that I get panick-y at the thought of having to care for another entity? by myself?
 
 It also messes up the house and knocks things over and is - as I've told it out loud - living random beauty.  But I'm horrible, and I'll return her to her daddy until I get my shit together.  What is up with me?  I had always dreamt of having a kitty to share my life with and a fat lap cat at that.
 
 Start the cruxification now.
