Oh, I was just visiting a coworker's office when the bottles came out, so got handed this kitty smaller than a softball (and much less coordinated) and a bottle! They're easy, if exasperating. So eager they unlatch or whatever. Hard to calm frantically eager kittens. You get to a point of 'little shit, CALM DOWN OVER HERE' and laughter. They are total lizard brains still, but you can see hints of personalities coming out. Which are gonna be total snugglers, which will be the get-into-shit ones...

Bubba and Charlie? Hiding with the elegant Dita? Why do I envision that dog-cat pairing in overalls and straw hats now?

'little shit, CALM DOWN OVER HERE'

This was my response to the baby goats I fed at dawn years and years ago.

The cloven hooves in the middle of your back, the frantic stamping which inevitably included your feet...pulling so hard that they ripped the rubber nipple off the glass Pepsi bottle (yep, that long ago) such that a liter of warm milk showered over them...all the while still sucking through the detached nipple, not realizing their breakfast was wasted on the ground.

Yeah. Those were the days.

Kittens are much smaller. Hardest part is unhooking all the claws from your clothes to put them down.

I can totally see that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is there any particular evolutionary advantage to a man to ensure the woman ejaculates, though, or is he still best off playing a numbers game?

Yes, if the theory proves true. Okay, take this all with a massive grain of salt since this info came along with advice like "if you want to have a boy, douche with baking soda" and such. In other words, more than a whiff of woo-woo. But the theory is that if the woman has an orgasm AFTER the man has come, the vaginal contractions will help direct the sperm into uterus.

What the hell, even if it doesn't work, the trying has it's own, uh, benefits. Unlike most of the TTC advice I was given.

Because books.

I think that's what that Renaissance book said!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh god.

In the Renaissance they also thought conception took anywhere from 10 to 12 months. Make of that what you will.
