Intended to have Ton Ton with me as I played mahjong on my computer. Afraid that he’ll pee& poo if I just leave him on the floor, I cradled him in my left arm & clicked away with my mouse with my right hand. Having just eaten at 2 pm, his eyelids started drooping. & he dozed off. I can feel his warmth against my tummy. I heard him snort a few times as he sleeps. Stirred awake several times when the thunder grumbled low before drifting back to sleep when he was certain that I’m still beside him. What other joy can a parent want?

He came to me on the 24th, just last Friday. In the short time that he’s been here, I’ve been amused & frustrated by this fur ball. I’ve wrinkled my nose at his stinkability, I’ve also smelled his freshly ‘laundered’ scent. He’s my little kid.
