A young man has taught his cats how to do agility. He has a series of videos on YouTube about how to teach your cats to do agility (like dog agility classes). My poor cat has no idea what can of worms I’m going to open tonight!
It seemed appropriate to post this picture today since Basette’s ashes have arrived at the vet’s. It was the last picture I took of her, minute before she was put to sleep. It’s painful to see how different she looks. So lost. She wasn’t there any more; her mind had fled the misery her body…

These kitties are completely spoiled: their room has a cat tower for climing up to a window, three cat beds (including a new one for…
