My little kitty is growing and what a terror he is! Nothing is safe from him. He just adores my son. Every time he sees Christopher he sits on his feet really making it necessary for Christopher to pick him up to avoid stepping on him. He mostly ignores me unless I am sitting in the recliner. Then he likes to come and be cuddled and petted. He constantly attacks Jerome wherever he is. He is very entertaining.
I had my DNA tested several years ago on 23 and me. Every month they send me a new list of "relatives", almost always 3rd or 4th cousins by their estimate and rarely anything worth pursuing. But my niece showed up a year ago and my grandniece showed up about 8 months ago. A new one showed a few months ago that said second cousin, but not a name at all familiar to me so I emailed her and was able to determine she is the daughter of my nephew that I have not seen in 30 years. 2 weeks a go another showed up saying 2nd cousin or first cousin once removed. Before I could message her, she messaged me. Was able to find that her mother was my first cousin. My cousins were all way older than I, this cousin was about 15 years older, but I did babysit for her kids a couple of times and the new relative is one of the kids I babysat for. She was about 3 at the time, she is 61 now. She lives in Arizona but will be in Vermont next week for a graduation and we will get together with her and a bunch of other cousins on that side that I have never met or have not seen in decades. Should be an interesting day.
