A few scenes from our life with cats, part one:

Clementine climbs onto the white cotton blanket we keep on the couch. She cautiously looks around, and then begins her search for her mother’s milk. Taking a small piece of blanket in her mouth, she begins to palpate the blanket, slowly and carefully, searching for the magical spot that will transform the blanket into her long lost mother. All the while, she is purring as loud as it is possible to purr. She cannot be deterred. One of these times that blanket is going to turn out to be her mother. She is sure of it.
