Yes, I went with 5/2 for my edition (I have long fingers and this feels most natural for me, prioritizing keeping it super legato)
the numbers on the original are what is in the manuscript, but it's possible someone other than Hensel wrote them in after the fact.

Cats may be the archetypes of agility and grace. Not this one. She is beyond clumsy… utterly lacking in proprioception.
She regularly falls off of chairs while laying on them. She fails to jump onto the seat of our very low couch.

She LOVES her backpack. We use it to take her to the vet and other places, which she HATES (she panics and cries).
None of the that trauma transfers to the backpack at all. As soon as she sees it, she rushes to jump inside it before you can even set it down or unzip it

Now we stop her when we hear water splashing but she’s gotten really good at doing it silently so we don’t notice. You’ll just step in these occasionally and get your socks wet

A newer bad habit is piggy dipping in the piggy pond (her water bowl). At first we thought it was cute—which is why there is video—but now there are pools of water on the floor and she doesn’t always have water to drink.

Perhaps my favorite of her inscrutable routines is that every two or three days, she closely inspects the two framed raptors we have in the living room.
Naturally, this is called Tap the Raptors.

Basically the only time she sits directly on a lap is when she is suckling on her blanket. This happens usually 2-3x a day.
We thought she would outgrow this but now I’m not so sure.

Mantissa will rarely sit directly on a lap or directly on the couch. She is always in her box, the Tub Boat.
(The box can be on a lap or the couch.)
(This is v2 of the box, she outgrew the first one like a hermit crab.)

Among the 4 kittens left was a tiny tabby, swirly like a cinnamon roll called Billie, snuggled up on her sister, an even smaller tortie named Tumbleweed. Volunteers said their brother, an outgoing tabby named Rodeo, had been adopted the day before.
