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?

@zebratron2084 Nope, not at all. There's also the option of putting less out at each serving, so it Mysteriously Disappears faster.

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...
