Wife told me to make sure our youngest cat does not see that GIF. He is too demanding as it is.

Spent a goodly portion of last week crocheting a sweet little kitty bed for Charlotte. Number of sits/sleeps in the bed since then - ZERO.
Bring home a flat box from an auction on Saturday, and it is her favorite new piece of ‘furniture’. SMH
