Today was a banner day in Gracie’s return to health: We had an official morning bellyrub, complete with deep, throaty purr and the kneading of paws in ecstasy. Of course, she wasn’t where you see her in the picture. She … Continue reading →

Lair reminded me that it’s Tummy Tuesday, time to show off our catbellies. Tig has quite the belly to show off, too, as you can see in this series of shots. Here, Tig’s fast asleep. Two hours laters, Tig’s still … Continue reading →
