Adventures in Cat Wrangling
I’ve been busy with another round of TNR. Don’t know what that is? Well, sit back and let me tell you.
Little Hissy Jones…
Hissy Fit Jones is an enigma. Of the four, he’s the one I can least read. In this photo he’s sitting beside me on the sofa, watching me type on the computer. He does this a lot. Hissy likes to be close to me on HIS terms. He may or may not let me rub his chin […]
