Kato laughs

Actually, she was just blinking. But doesn't it look like she is laughing so hard her eyes are closed?

Kato went home yesterday, but before she did, she conquered her fear of the elevator and stairs. Also, she made friends with a chair cushion... all over our living room, around the dining table and in and out of several corners. Her persistence amazed me, as she seemed to amuse herself with the cushion for hours at a time.

Once in a while, she would hop off it and sort of give it a little kick, as if rebuking it. But within a few minutes, she would look at it longingly while playing with another toy, then return to the cushion, often with a sort of embarassed look. Of course, all of this provided me with hours of entertainment during the cold, rainy weekend. Thanks, Kato!
