Help stray cats survive winter.
This is Pretty Boy Fluffy Tail. He is my BSF— best stray friend. I TNR’d him a few summers ago, and over time, he has socialized himself to me. He has two brothers— Mr. Gray and Mr. Black. I cannot touch them, but they are fine being right next to me. They are usually […]
The Emperor of Nonsense— Antique Gilt Sconces.
A while ago, I wrote a post about antiquing in Philadelphia, (and our acquisition of a new chandelier). On that excursion, Paul and I went into a shop that we have never bothered with— because I perceived it to be total crap. The entrance is blockaded with boxes and trash, and the front windows are […]

GIANT Victorian doll bed… (because kittens need fancy things too!)

I cannot say why you left me this massively-useless item of fanciness, but if it’s because you acknowledge my Craigslist OG status, I appreciate it. I’ve gotten out of the habit of checking Craigslist because— brace yourselves— […]
Foster Kitten Update.
After introducing this pair, I have not written again about these kittens; I’ve been waiting to have a better report… I have it now, and everyone gets a gold star. These two were SO sick– tiny kittens are susceptible to an upper respiratory infection that you can imagine if you think of the very worst […]
