The important things in a cat’s life

In my opinion, Dessy, aka the largest one of the furry members of the family, I've found 3-4 things around here that are particularly important when it comes to living the life of luxury as a cat. My life revolves around food, first, and foremost.  As I've mentioned before, I'm a large-sized cat and I… Continue reading The important things in a cat’s life

How I became a famous blogger for a day
