Yesterday, April 4, 2022, we had to say our goodbyes to our beloved little baby, Sassy.
She stuck with us since being adopted as a kitten and would have been 21yo this coming July.

Stressful, but routine trip to the vet.
She wailed pretty much the whole time.

Mrs. & I are on our 3rd attempt to have a rug in our kitchen.
Our two previous attempts involved cheaper, rubber-backed rugs and the result was Sassy peed on them. This happened despite having sprayed the second one with Comfort Zone; the first we didn't think the rug was going to be an...
