Goodness, but news from London has gone from one extreme to another
within the last 24 hours.
Purrs and good thoughts to all the [justifyably] terrified people in

Lily has discovered Jazz's cat tree and has taken over. It's strange, after
several years of seeing this 15-pound handsome boy lounging on his cat tree,

Charleen,
You had mentioned that Mr. Pumpkin had trouble with the blood vessels in his

rain in 5 weeks. It's brutal.

Silver's fascinated with the noise that the scanner makes and she
likes to lie on top of it... so just for fun I opened it up and she
