“Tastes better from the tap.”

First up from ACM, Pixel up-close and adorable, definitely a treat if Izzy weren’t fixed.

Note Izzy this is the way to do it - cat - sunbeam and not so much as a hairball on Ellison’s carpet. Yes!

Coll reminds us what happens when your cat doesn’t eat. Must have more pics of Bear, he is one beautiful cat.

Once upon a time, Jack dreamed of a girlfriend with this gift…. Guessing that cat really laps up the food.

This really would cut down on that sucking sound I hear at dinnertime, chasing leaves instead. Good idea Catherine.

Such a pretty little thing, don’t get any ideas Izzy or Lair.

Leslie’s Tiger Boots and The Divine Miss Marilyn are full of opinions this week. Cheaper than full of food.
