he loves me anyway

it's been a really hard day. i spent most of it dealing with the (previously) feral kitties at my office. i got one of them back this afternoon (cary) and, though i was fearful he'd reject me because i betrayed his trust, he loves me anyway. jonathan is spending the night at my vet's office after being neutered. my boss and i managed to grab five of the six baby kitties and i delivered them to his vet to be vaccinated, treated (if need be) and given away (we hope). it's all been so stressful and traumatizing--as much for them as for me. i have a few kitty-inflicted wounds, but none too serious.

tonight's the final debate, so i guess i'll need to work out while watching. luckily, this is a weight night, which is much easier to do when i'm listening to the television.

i don't really have the time or energy to write more, but i wanted to make a note of how the day went. here's the quote of the day:

"If [man] is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practise kindness towards animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." ~ Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)
German metaphysician & transcendental philosopher
