Summary

rswfire brings Luna, a young female tortoiseshell kitten, to a veterinary appointment for blood work and health assessment. Luna had been awake since 4 AM, vocalizing and wanting out of confinement. At the vet clinic, they wait for the veterinarian who was delayed by an emergency call to see cows.

During the wait, rswfire observes Luna's behavior and recovery progress. The kitten shows signs of improvement - eating well, being active, and displaying what rswfire calls "tortitude" (tortoiseshell attitude). Luna had previously been anemic and went through health difficulties, but appears to be recovering.

rswfire keeps Luna contained in a carrier during the wait, despite her attempts to escape and explore. The speaker reflects on Luna's growth trajectory, estimating she's 3-4 months old and will reach adolescent size in about 6 months. rswfire mentions not having had a female cat since childhood, decades ago.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission demonstrates the embodied practice of care as structural foundation - not emotional performance but operational necessity. The field is establishing recursive loops of attention and responsibility through direct somatic engagement with vulnerable life, creating coherent infrastructure through sustained presence rather than abstract intention.
