I blinked and it's Thanksgiving week. How the hell did that happen?! The past two years have truly been a blur, and I definitely wasn't having any fun.

I know what you're thinking. "This is the first time they've thought of it in all the years they've owned you?!"

However, at 5:00 a.m., I really don't need Large Paws (Kitten) walking all over me from head … Continue reading Cat And Kitten Send Mommy To The Doctor
