my mother left last night for a business trip. i fed the cats at 6, and got them inside for the night. all except dora, who i hadn't seen since about 3 or 4. i felt terrible, but when he hadn't come back by 7, i had to go home. when i got her...

joel came over yesterday. he's one of the few humans willing to set foot in our apartment, and it's only so that jeff will fix his computer. smudge started out with his usual intimidation tactics, but joel doesn't take shit from a cat. for the m...

no matter how much we try, we never can keep squeak inside for more than a few hours. he just loves it outside too much. and of course, if you don't let him out when he asks, he pees on you.

poor lardbutt smudgie -- he's having trouble jumping onto counters. i've seen him try for the kitchen sink and fall short quite a few times lately. and this morning, he tried twice to jump up to the bathroom sink for his morning drink, and he ju...
