If you’ve not yet done your holiday shopping, allow me to extend my condolences. The malls this week will be only slightly less tragic and messy than The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, without the benefit of Gordon Lightfoot.
But where there are Tabby’s Place cats, there’s hope.
Apparently the country’s in the very best of hands. They tell me that our debt problems are in the care of a supercommittee.
I’ve always liked the expression “he swears like a longshoreman.”
Cats seem naturally unskeptical. Armed with industrial-strength amounts of awesome, they’re happy to believe each morning that the world is good and hope is real.

As the cats’ humble servant, it is my solemn duty to inform you of something essential.
