First, my fur-family and I want to thank some of our friends for the very nice gifts and thoughts.

As you know, mom's human daughter inflicted kittens on us when she went to Japan. The kittens seem to be adapting well, they know who's the boss and give me the respect, even the awe and fear, that is due me. So, no problems with them --- so far.

But, mom has a human son who has a DOG. Not just a DOG but a PUPPY! Her name is Rhea, a far too dignified name for a canine, if you ask me. She's medium sized and hyperactive (mom says it's normal, she's a puppy. I don't remember being like that when I was a kitten - even then I had gravitas). Anyway, mom's human son had to go on a business trip this week - for a whole week! The person who usually takes care of his dog when he's gone wasn't available, so guess who got saddled with this DOG - US! I'll tell you something - they say curiosity killed the cat, well I don't know about that, but it will certainly kill this dog if she doesn't keep her nose out of my face. Even Sophie, who has as little dignity as is possible for a cat, is appalled at her.

And, oh, she has peanut butter breath!
