things i say to kittens
me while i scritch napping kittens:
"Yes, you're such good kitties! You are such good kitties!"
"..."
"OK, listen, despite anything you may have heard me say in the past, you ARE still good kitties."
"..."
"I mean, we live in a complicated world, and who's really to say who's good or bad."
"..."
"OK, let me level with you. You're kind of terrible but you're *cats*. And if there's one thing you're going to want to know during the course of your life, it's that that's good enough."
