Epilogues: May 2014

How much can change in a group of friends before the bonds start to break down? How much can each member of a group grow before they begin to grow apart? These are the questions that tax sitcoms, soap operas, and residents of Suite A.
If Tabby’s Place is a sovereign nation, the cat suites are more like independent republics than states. There is no Congress at Tabby’s Place. We are bereft of representative feline government.
