Out dated
In an age of dubious news, it’s good to know you can always identify headlines not written by cats. For instance: “Why does cheese give you nightmares?” Even more chillingly: “Fifteen things making your home look outdated.”
Our fried guide
May I get rambunctiously real with you, kittens? I do not mean the way Hips gets with Prescott, although there is value in hippopotamussing your friends. (If you know Hips, you know that “hippopotamus” is a verb.) I do not mean the way Valerie gets with her stuffed shrimp and lobster, although there is merit […]
Epilogues: November 2023

There are credible rumors of something entitled “stuffing,” but limited evidence beyond garlicky human kisses. It’s almost enough to make a cat stop giving thanks.

Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Black Friday
It may be Black Friday (in the US, at least), and there may be a lot of attention on bloated tummies and massive sales. Not at Tabby’s Place (except maybe the slightest loosening of waistbands). Fridays are days, just like every day, for focusing attention on cats. The FIV+ crew think they deserve extra special […]
The fourth Thursday in November
