I know one little kitten whom owes me an explanation. She's been being a tease, and she can't get away with that.

But then, how do I punish my little kitty while she's out and about at Ella's without anyone noticing? Hmmm. She does seem to be answering now. But regardless of if she's good or not in these texts, how does one take care of that? Punishing or rewarding my kitten subtly? Hmmm. The typing could always work. But just what other options can one deal out beneath the notice of others, the perfect secret just between the kitten and her master? My talk with our interesting new friend was a little disjointed and wandering along tangents, but it made a few things clear. And I believe one fact I might not be making quite clear enough to my kitten just yet is that she is mine.

MINE.

This is something essential that the more I look at, I realize is key to the whole thing. I'm sure my kitten has a sense of how loved and appreciated she is, and that I'm in charge, but perhaps she doesn't fully understand the situation yet. Clearly the temporary collar is not enough.

And to think, my kitten is getting upset at one offhand note that came up at the end of a conversation meant for her benefit? That's hardly fair to our friend now, is it?

She's forgetting her sirs as well.

But how to go about it...
