Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: In Her Element
Shy little Gallium is a force of nature. As such, it might be unsurprising that she was also the source of a very big scary event.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Lobby Luau
Proposal: We agree to Boobalah’s idea of holding a luau in the Tabby’s Place lobby.
Please break our hearts, Part IV: Marcia
If you’re looking for a lucky number, 1706 is available. It’s a goodie, too. Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706. Some fun-lovin’ folks signed the Treaty of Altranstädt in 1706. And at Tabby’s Place, cat number 1,706 is Marcia. We want you to adopt Marcia. We want you to break our hearts.

But she was not about to let that convince her […]
My pet monster, part I
