Editor’s Note: Are you ready for this? I mean it, dear ones. Take a moment. Collect yourself. Make sure you are prepared. You will need your spacesuit, because your heart is about to go stratospheric. You will need your industrial-sized box of tissues, because your ocean is about to overflow. And you will need your […]
Happy First and Last February Second of 2024! Maurice and his confrères welcome you to the new. Cats love new years. They love them so much, they celebrate them on a rolling basis. But cats hate resolutions. They hate them so much, they are here to save us from them, at great personal cost.
