pounds and big enough to stand on the floor and put her front paws on my

I have two cats with allergies. Today one had an injection of a steroid,
Depo Medrol.

the letter box I'll give you a treat".  He comes up to the letter box

Why, oh why, doesn't the kitty-cat realise that my toes under the blanket
are the same ones that are attached to my body?
Last night, I must have moved in my sleep and got a wide-awake (= bored) cat
attacking the greeblies in the bed.  I can remember the teeth sinking into
