Kittens and Patriarchy

Microsoft Word is sexist. It recognises 'matrilineal' but not 'patrilineal'.

In other news, we have a kitten! My roommate was fairly convinced that Sudra was lonely. Maybe she is. So now we have a kitten. 7 months old. Named Tiggy. Part (not sure how much) Maine coon. We have them segregated at the moment. Sudra hasn't quite figured out what's going on yet. She noticed the meowing from the other room at one point this afternoon. She seemed not quite sure what to make of it and eventually, as is her style, lost interest. We'll see how this develops. Hopefully the kitten will run the extra pounds off Sudra and she won't be Chubby-Cat anymore. Maybe this will bring out hidden maternal insticts in her. Or something.
