You have heard all the warnings. “Guard your heart.” “Look before your leap.” “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
Happy New Year, kittens. Let us make a pact, today, while we still have confetti in our whiskers and something called “egg nog” in our fridges. (How did it get there? Who invented it? Why have we never had a Tabby’s Place cat named Nog? I digress.) Here’s the plan: we will not permit this […]
Editor’s note: Do you love Lucy? Did our sunny snowball touch your heart? Prepare yourself. Your heart is about to grow ten billion times in size. Ready? Excellent. We’ll let Lucy and Claudius’s AwesomeAdopters take it from here. XO, AT
