She’s an indoor/outdoor cat. The SO found a flea last week, and flea drops were applied to both cats. Thanks for mentioning that. I’ve added more flea drops to my shopping cart. ---

A long time ago a friend’s wife told me about changing her kid’s diaper. The turd fell out and she looked for it but couldn’t find it, and then she saw the cat licking its lips. ---

My husband brought home fresh bagels, cream cheese and lox this morning in honor of Mother’s Day. Miss Lucy the Cat decided that all three were tasty and walked off with a bagel piece topped with the cheese and lox when she thought I wasn’t looking. I understand the fish love but the cream cheese and bagel are just weird. Funny, she doesn’t look Jewish with all that fur. 😛 ---

Tonka didn’t want any Vegemite today. But he seems to like refried beans. ---
