Only Kitten Pictures From Now On
We have a new family member. His name is Tiger Scratchy. Ruby named him Tiger, because he is orange, and Edward named him scratchy, because he scratched Edward. He is 10 weeks old and he lives with us now. This is excellent news because, as you know, with access to a kitten I can now […]

Pillow Cat Fight
Me: “Edward, what are you doing?” Edward: “I don’t know…” Me: “Don’t throw pillows at the cat. Mousey doesn’t like that.” Edward: “Why she no like that?” Me: “Because it hurts her to get hit with a pillow.” Edward: “But we’re having a pillow fight!” Me: “You can’t have a pillow fight with a cat.” […]
Kidzilla
The hour is early. The first rays of the sun are just starting to peek over the peaks of the green mountains to the east. The world is peaceful.
