RIP Zorro Zeta I’ve been trying to write about this since I got the news on Monday, but it’s been too hard. Wee, sweet Zeta was sickly last week; stopped nursing, and had to be bottle-fed by her tireless foster family. They thought she’d gotten past the worst of it, but she was just too [...]

For those of you who only read my blog, I owe you a story. Until then, allow me to sum up: a crazy feral mamacat climbed 10′ UP along our HVAC duct to bear kittens in our attic. The space would’ve been ideal kittennest, save for the steep drop-off that allowed tiny kittens to fall [...]

I loathe this holiday, mostly because people don’t get the difference between righteous pranking and behaving like a childish asshole.
