Atom

   My mighty Atom would have been 14 today. He's been gone just over a year. In some ways it feels like yesterday, in other ways like forever ago.
Though I miss him of course, Kismet makes it feel as if he's still with me. She has his sweet snuggly personality, and loves to be held and carried. She also is still in the bratty kitten stage, so I imagine she will become even more like him.
   Atom was so tiny when I adopted him at 6 weeks of age, but powerful nonetheless. Kelly had been holding him, and playing with him/teasing him, and Atom decided that was enough. The tiny kitten reared back and without warning took a mighty swipe at Kelly's glasses, knocking them across the room. Once we confirmed that they weren't destroyed, we had quite a laugh.
Miss you, lil' buddy!
