Happy birthday to me! Thirty trips around the sun and not done spinning yet

I dashed to the room where my smartphone was blaring a sitar ringtone and pressed the red button, happy that I'd managed to locate the device before voice mail picked up.

Calling all cat psychologists

Sometimes at night, a minute or two after I've turned off all the lights and climbed into bed, I hear a sad mewing coming from the hallway. It is not the happy meow I get when I come home or the demanding meow when Krupke swipes my nose to demand food. It's that sad, lost... [Read More]
