Planning the proportions of a new track is hard. For filmed media, some fenceposts are already in place—total length and the major emotional beats.

The thing I love about three cats, that I couldn’t anticipate when we adopted the third, is the ‘energy field’ you get to sit in. As in: two cats in the room is a line segment; three cats in the room is a triangle, with all this cat-energized space that feels very comforting to be in and around.

Here’s to the journey!
