Over at Kittenbreak.com, things are looking cute…

But some things are rather broken.

May a kindly Providence guard us from the day when we need an adoption lawyer to take home a kitten….

In a purr-fect ending, a miner with a heart of gold…rescued Molly the cat last night.
After spending 14 days stuck in the guts of a 19th-century West Village building, New York’s famous fur ball was safe and sound and eating sardines.
The kitty cornered in the wall had drawn such widespread attention that she had become […]

There’s been significant improvement since that last post.
Goodman, for his part, is almost completely recovered from his enteritis, and is wandering around the house shouting for food in the traditional manner. The racket is surprising after a few days of relative quiet.

So as a way to keep this dry-ear problem of mine from recurring (the condition having been, apparently, what caused the ear infection of early January), the doctor told me to shove little soft cotton pledgets soaked with olive oil into my ears while showering. Fair enough.
Now, this requires keeping olive oil in the bathroom, […]

And he’s a trip.
Like the vast majority of our cats, he was a rescue. We were walking down to the pub a couple of Sundays ago, and (as usual) passed a neighbor’s house just outside the village. In their yard, as usual, were a couple of dogs: a terrier and a basset hound. […]
