kitten power!

Dear Community,
Do you have any idea how much JOY a kitten can bring into your life? Do you? Let me tell you, I was already pretty darn happy, full life, lots of love, plenty of companionship, warmth, contentment, laughter, delight…and then, KITTEN!!! And my joy factor has increased by 70 belly laughs, 25% bigger heart capacity, heightened cuddle body temperature, and deeper smile wrinkles…OMG!!! Go rescue a kitten!! What are you waiting for?
My new furry friend is named Anastasia Harley Tobias. According to my mama, “she’s a gem,” and according to me, she’s a joy amplifier to the Nth!
It is now officially a heart-pained hardship for me to leave my home to sing with you…but I’m still willing to do it.
