Strangely, I have a memory from when I was a teenager spending the night at my grandmother’s farm. I awoke to see a black cat sitting by my head, curiously staring down at me, the strange person, sleeping on her mistress’s couch. The black cat was Inky, an indoor/outdoor cat, who was friendly and loved … More Wake Up!!

But Sister was the one I totally underestimated. (Sister was euthanized December 30, 2018.) Sister was always the timid, sweet, gentle cat. … More My Cats Are Revolting!
