kitty stuff (mild -), seeking advice
New source of anxiety: Sugarfoot is frequently sitting in front of the door outside and mewling. She obviously wants to go out and explore very badly, and I don't want to give her any further sources of stress. But I also don't want the kittens to be without mama for very long, and I have nightmare visions of her wandering off for, like, a day (which is admittedly not like her).
I'm thinking of gently withholding her food, just for like part of a day, and then letting her go explore a bit, trusting in the awesome power of the food bag to lure her back. Does this sound horribly irresponsible?

gods, my life would be so much easier if sugarfoot just had e-mail -_-
we think we've settled on a reasonable compromise, though: instead of letting sugarfoot out, we're gonna let her family visit more often. everyone but shemp's met the kittens and seemed to be pretty chill around them...
