What better way to celebrate Friday the 13th than with our black cat?
Tom has taken to sleeping on the small couch out on the sun porch.
Tom: Have you opened another can of Fancy Feast? If not, then do not disturb my slumber.

Ash: Well, ya see, sir I understand you’re lookin’ for sparrin’ partners for Apollo, and I jus’ want ta let ya know that I am very available.
Rusty has a message for you.

Rusty: Why yes, I really am that hot.
