If I'm exhausted, imagine my poor wretched copilot, Chilmole. Fourteen years old, his mother the lady in my avatar.  Born in my bed, under the sheets while I was asleep one magical Monday morning, April 1999.  Yuri Gagarin Day. Strong as a bull, gentle as a dove yet mindful of his duties as...

Dateline Ensenada, Baja, Mexico. Just a thought I'd like to share with you all. Chimay the matriarch is asleep in the living room. Bebita has recently discovered that a DSL modem makes an excellent pillow, and that's where she is right now. Chilmole is behind the house, looking for ways to...

Hey there. Tonight, while cleaning and sweeping the litter box area (four cats, two boxes), an idea flashed in my head. I have a medium-sized fireplace at home, and my cats love to sleep in the sofa that I place several feet from the flames. However, by next morning, my cats are using the...
