I've had the flu for the past week, and Zephyr and I have been having a napping competition - I never stood a chance.

He used to run away and hide when I brought a guitar out. Now he hangs with me and... umm... naps.

What a great looking cat, Barry! "Anthony and Cleopatra"... the shelter folks are clever about getting cats adopted together.

I know my conversion to "mushy cat Dad" happened when Molly came into our family. Then sweet Isabella completely captivated me. Not having had a boy before, some of this is new to me... but, this boy is a cuddler.
