She always has food in her dish, but she plays and plays, and forgets to stop and eat. So today I started reminding her where her food is whenever she acts up really scary awful. She eats, and then everything is okay. Sweet kitty again. She doesn't have a split personality after all, just hungry baby tantrums. It was so much easier, I'm sure, when mommy carried lunch around with her. I'm so used to elderly cats it isn't funny. But I'm having loads of fun with her.

That's the "good" Tara. Then there's evil, scary, demonic Tara, who can strike fear into a dog 90 times her size. Kittens have their dark sides for sure, and I had forgotten about that. If I pick her up when she's been tearing around, I find that she actually radiates heat. She really is a fireball! Then, just when I've resigned myself to her tornado-like electro-destructo-madness, she nods off and falls asleep. :) Every now and then, I get a glimpse of the cat she'll be when she's all grown up, and that little glimpse makes me realize the "good" and "scary" will merge into a beautiful and even tempered grownup cat, and we'll be happy to live with her for many years.

She is dying to get a kitten of her own, but as she is moving to Japan, this is not in the cards. Love the story of the 'fully loaded' kitten.
