Our cats have a theory. If they sit together (begging) snacks appear. I'm sure they have other hypotheses on how to manipulate humans, but I digress. This is about mid-day cravings.

Our saintly-cheeky cat – jokes on us
Our cat Tizzie is truly a devout cat. She is pious enough to stay quiet most of the time. As a cat who knows what cats should be like, she sits in her saintly manner often. But, she another side to her where she prefers to perch herself in a cheeky cat-like way throughout our house. She… Continue reading Our saintly-cheeky cat – jokes on us
