Bettie

One of my cats was screaming in the kitchen [View all]

I knew she had food and treatsies this morning....so I went to see if she was stuck or had something wrong.

Nope, she just wanted me to pet her and didn't want to get up and come ask for it.

My life is run by cats and dogs...which isn't bad.
