FULL KITTEN UPDATE: Sunrise, Sunset.
Bumble and his littermate Bother are a year old now, and every single day they remind me of how much energy I no longer have.

FULL KITTEN UPDATE: The Battle of the Door.
In that last post, I mentioned how Bumble and Mr. Captain were locked in a battle of wits all evening long. Today you’ll hear the story of that battle, who won (for now!), and how. A few folks were wondering, so here we are! Human versus feline. Place your bets now….
