[QUOTE="katya02, post: 299180, member: 2884"] Okay, you made me laugh, Star! :laughing: I promise to Sit-Stay! And not crawl away to lick my wounds. Definitely counter-productive. I also believe there's an accounting, and I know my stepmother is accountable but not to me. I keep telling myself that, just have to work on letting it go. I think it's easier to forgive hurts to yourself than it is to forgive hurts to those we love. Even if the one we love chose it. Anyway ... got to run and check on my first-time cat mom who had five kittens yesterday and then FREAKED OUT! I've been teaching a cat how to mother her kittens. How weird - I've only ever seen animals either reject their babies outright or be good mothers. I've never seen one accept her babies, but be clueless. And needy - she gets frantic if someone isn't right there with her every minute. Reminds me of the occasional young first-time mom I would take care of in hospital, who would need constant reassurance. And then she would 'get' it and be a fantastic mom with plenty of confidence. I never expected to see this in an animal, but so far she's nursing the kittens and they're doing fine, so .. back to the nursery! [/QUOTE]
