Little is known about his first year of life or what led him to be found in a field outside of Sacramento, riddled with worms and in very ill health. He had been neutered so someone likely knew him by another name. The incarcerated Californians who worked at the Yolo County Animal Control1 facility nursed him back to health. There he sat for weeks, watching younger kittens find homes and marching ever closer to his shelter mandated termination date.https://briankohan.com/articles/good-dads/Sun, 15 Jun 2025 09:19:42 -0700https://briankohan.com/articles/good-dads/I remember less and less from my childhood as I get older. It’s not like those memories have vanished, I just have to root around for them a bit longer and when I find them they’re a bit hazier. My formative memories are still crisp as day, though, and on this father’s day I’m thinking about one in particular. I do not remember how old I was - Clinton was definitely president and I was old enough to start grasping the biological and political complexities of human reproduction, so maybe 12? We were watching congressional floor speeches on c-span and the topic was abortion. This was before being anti-choice would get you booted from the Democratic party, so I can’t identify the party of the individual in question for certain nor can I remember the precise details of their argument, but they were making the case against abortion.
