2 Years Ago Today, I Finally Removed a Lock That Had Been Stuck on My Laptop for a Week

Jones was a feral kitten and she has the smallest voice I’ve ever heard. 

  • 20 weeks ago, Jones was born, a tiny tortoiseshell kitten with an orange and white striped arm.
  • 12 weeks ago, Morgan brought her home and named her after the cat from Alien.
  • 10 weeks ago, Jones stopped hiding under Morgan’s bed and started being more social.
  • 9 weeks ago, the little magenta sock monkey that had been in my room for years disappeared and resurfaced as Jones’ new favorite toy.
  • 8 weeks ago, I tried to give Maura a felt gift-card holder from Starbucks, which she obviously did not want. I felt bad throwing it out, as it was felt and had rhinestones on it. I gave it to Jones and that became her second favorite toy.
  • 2 weeks ago, Jones became obsessed with my plant and killed it.
  • 1 week ago, I woke up to a roll of toilet paper that she had unraveled in the hall.
  • 1 day ago, I looked at Jones and, for the first time, thought, “She’s not a kitten - she’s a cat!”
  • 6 hours ago, Jones played a trick on me and acted like she had gone into the kitchen but as soon as I opened my door, ran into my room and jumped all over my bed (I didn’t want her in my room because I was going to leave for work).

Interesting, cats cats.
