[hubby] brought home a kitten he found in [nearby] apartments--I stayed home--kitten very sweet--other cats less happyThis, of course, was Mr. Whiskers, whom I lost at the end of May earlier this year. I still miss him every single day, but I'm getting better at recalling the happy memories. I knew this ( Read more... )
