Hot Tails...

"The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always

be useful and which will never grow dim or doubtful."

Mark Twain

In order to protect Kelly from the lure of leftover kitty food...

TheChief found this handy little "cat house!!!

(I tried to find the site we ordered this from, but couldn't find it...

if you google dog proof cat feeders, you'll find a variety, but not this one)

That's Easy for Buddha to Say...

"As a lotus flower is born in water, 

grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled,

so I, 

born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world,

live unsoiled by the world."
