The cats and I are having some issues. Everyday at 6:30, Ziggy cries until he is fed. Sometimes filling the bowl the night before helps, sometimes he just wants to be a fucking cat and piss me off. The automatic litter box has been tossed out and [...]
Happy Thanksgiving one and all!!!
I'm thankful that there are still one or two of you still checking this thing out. I promise to get back on the ball. Besides caring for gigglemom, it's been pretty boring around these parts...
