Cattiator
When it comes to meows, loud is impressive. Loud is good. Loud is Green Day. Loud is Hawkeye. But it takes something more than volume to anchor an epic anthem. Think Bach. Think Pink Floyd. Think Neil Diamond. Think…Russell.
Forever loved: Lily
I wish, with all my heart, that I did not have to write this post. Our beloved Lily has left this world.
We can’t Blaine him
I’ve always liked the expression “he swears like a longshoreman.” My liking hasn’t been tempered by the fact that I rarely swear and have never met any longshoremen. Or at least, I didn’t until Burdock came along.
To pilfer the crown Julie

Raining kittens and kittens
I’m not sure who said it first. But somewhere in the last few weeks, several of us foolish human beans have dared to remark, “It’s awfully late in kitten season for us to have no kittens.” Foolish, foolish human beans.
