stella's obsession with sticks and kitty's obsession with swatting anything that moves has made the playing environment between these two pretty volatile. however, we may have found a fix.
this morning, as usual, kitty was sitting at the window waiting on one of his minions (i.e.: me or kyle) to let him in to eat. stella ran to the window and started poking the stick at him, to which he started swatting, but there was glass dividing them so no one could get hurt! huzzah!
