Yesterday we had visitors including a big dog. My boys briefly hid in the bedroom, then came out cautiously for a better look. Rocky even touched noses with the dog.

The local Humane Society gets a surprising number of cats with kinked tails, and I don’t mean the classic Siamese bend at the last bone; I’ve seen about six with two or more right angles.
