“My Old Man”, a sleepy Stanley, on the rocker, on the deck, in the sun, in late spring of his last year with me, 2006. He was with me for 21 years and came to me well into adulthood, so my best guess is that he was 24 here; he

Last year on this day I was putting the finishing touches on my newly-designed version of The Creative Cat, and my resident felines, as usual, had something to say about it. “Mom’s been really b-o-o-r-r-r-r-i-i-n-n-g-g lately.” “But we’re really catching up on our sleep.” “That’s not so bad.” [zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz] So
