so, here i am, babysitting westychic's two cats while she is on a river tour of the danube river. lucky. it's hotter than hades here at home. while i am babysitting them, she did mention i could brush thaddeus any time i wanted since i'm the only person who he lets brush him. so i am...

so as i collect grey and white hair from the big boy kitty we adopted after watching him as a refugee, karrie had a ziploc of orange hair that i'm adding to. she is also determined i have to make something nasty for my brother. i just have filled up the bag of orange kitty hair and need to start a second.
