Due to the colder and inclement weather here we've brought in Mom Cat, mother to all of our kittens. Here she is chilling but not freezing on our front porch. While she's smaller than some of her offspring, she's still pretty chonky! And pretty too.

We had a major breakthrough here last night as you can see below: Sammy Frankens Jr. and Snotty Kitty co-existed on the bed in peace so they could watch the Bucks/Knicks game.
