“Are you going to get another cat?” It was inevitable, I suppose. That someone would ask. I didn’t think it would bother me as much as it did, and it took me a while to figure out why. Of course we’ll adopt another cat one day. That’s inevitable. I am a cat person. I like […]
I’ve mentioned more than once how quiet the house feels now. It took me a bit to figure out why. Obviously, Binky was loud. He breathed loud, slept loud, walked loud. He had a meow that you could hear even if he were at the south end of the top floor and you were at […]
