  • When a cat doesn’t like its litter…(LOL!!)

  • Another tabby?

    This morning, we heard Tiger complaining in Mac’s place at the back of the house…  What’s wrong, Tiger?  Oh, there’s a visitor in the back alley…  It’s a tabby and wears a blue collar.  A blue collar with a bell, just like Tab’s red collar with a bell. My husband thought maybe it’s Tabs’ sibling…

  • Serving as humble rafts

    While this may not be your typical Christmas message, I thought it’s great food for thought.

From…
