CPotD #290: Comfort Tail
Oscar loves to chew on his tail. It’s one of his coping mechanisms. After Mom’s been gone for nearly two weeks, he just couldn’t take it any more:
CPotD #289: Taste My Distaste
Stanley is like all cats: he likes routine. His routine has been disrupted by Mom’s Adventure. When I come home from work, I often find him “seasoning” the cutting board to express his distaste.

One of the most egregious crimes about Mom being gone is that there’s no one home at 3:45. That means there’s no one to glare at to initiate the 4:00 can-opening ritual. By the time I get home at 5:15, everyone is PISSED.
CPotD #282: Attention, Minion!
There I was, minding my own business as I cooked up a batch of rice and broccoli. Suddenly, the most godawful squealing and squalling erupted from the love seat.
