I have this feeling that more people would be parents if babies were kittens and only turned human at like 5 or so. };)

Try 10. Five is still the age of being a relatively poor conversationalist... >_>

You have to start socializing them at some point, otherwise they'll lick themselves inappropriately and do other embarrassing things when they're fully grown! -_-

[archangelbeth]

But they'll use the litterbox!

And claw your furniture up!

Hm, would a human in kittenform age at a human rate or a cat rate? If so, waiting a year on a kitten should get you to about 7 years human.

There must be a story or two in all this... -_-

There's an old Fritz Lieber story, that was terribly sad... Spacetime for Springers, I think it was? Yes, here it is. http://faculty.uca.edu/rnovy/Leiber--SpaceTime%20for%20Springers.htm

*re-reads and cries*

I do love it. }:D I believe I've read it before, but thank you, rereading it was fun and tragic! (curious how the two can coexist)

I believe he did a second Gummitch story, too -- or at least one in which Gummitch features heavily. Which I can't find just now. *mutter*

I did find http://milieu.bandcamp.com/track/coffee-for-gummitch but have no headphones to listen! O:(

It's just music, no spoken words, at least in the brief bit I listened to!

There were apparently 5 Gummitch-related stories, collected in a book titled 'Gummitch and Friends'.
