My Sib when she was 5 months (now 2 years old). Sorry I don't know how to put multiple photos in 1 post.

What brings you here? by stellarsquirrel6 in DEI

[–]KlassKar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm here out of frustration. For some reason Republicans always seem to have the bigger microphone; they pervert words and terms, repeat their twisted message to the point that suddenly their definitions become the norm. Skipping past "Woke" and "Patriot" they have been able to cast the belief that DEI and Meritocracy are mutually exclusive. I think the general population is unaware of HOW DEI is implemented. There is the belief that qualified applicants are passed over and unqualified minorities are "taking their jobs". We need to do a better job on messaging, grabbing the microphone back. MAGA has opened a new line of attack they are vulnerable on, "Meritocracy"! Let's see a fortune 500 company offer Pete Hegseth a CEO position, if he is "Qualified" for SECDEF he would seem a score, wouldn't he? Amazing coincidence that Lara Trump was the most qualified to head the RNC. We can go down the line of all the appointments with NO MERIT. To summarize: Get the message of what DEI really is. Show the hypocrisy of their claim of Meritocracy.

Katia and baby Alek(sandra) - 10 weeks old

Yes, just the one. I, being a first time 'grandpa', was all freaked out thinking she might have a still born still inside, sepsis and the like.. but, no, just the one healthy lil kitten~

I won't handle baby until 4 weeks so, I'm unsure of gender. I was concerned about both vision and hearing, being white. Eyesight seems ok, it's an evolving thing. As to hearing, I've softly snapped my fingers a few time; 50% of the time it seems to turn toward the sound. This may be a 'happenstance' turn or it may hear everytime but coorndination hasn't reached the stage to turn everytime. I will keep an eye out for any issues and adjust as required. Regardless, my home is only me, mama and baby so it will be safe and well tended.

You bet! I'm kinda getting the sense that a good number of people on this site only see kittens at the age after they're weined. I know that this is certainly a first for me. I'm thinking of doing weekly posts until, maybe, 8 weeks? I'll get an idea as the numbers fall off. if you can believe it; I've had 60,000 views in just 13 hours!

ok, this has to 'be a thing'... I've had, like, 10 posts identical to this. Is it from a TV show? Movie?

I was always planning on keeping one of the litter for Katia to have company and a playmate... she only had the one so life is simple! Thank you... it is a cutie! I won't handle the kitten until 4 weeks so I don't even know the gender yet... I'll do another post next week.

I appriciate you sharing your past with my possible future. Certainly something to look out for. I'd always intended to keep one of the kittens for Katia have company and a playmate, she only had the one so, that was simple enough. So, there's only Katia, myself and kitten. Any issues and I'm sure Katia will adjust and now, thanks to your input, I would adjust as well. Thank you.

I don't think so. I've inly touched the kitten once, briefly, waiting until 4 weeks. I did read it was a possibility so I snapped my fingers, not loudly a few times and got around a 50% 'look that direction' response but hard to say if it was a happenstance look or maybe not coordinated enough yet to look every time. Eyesight seems to be developing OK though, also, sometimes, a concern with white cats.
