Kitty grass is an important source of nutrients, especially for indoor cats. It is a mixture of oat seeds that grows on our windowsill.

Cats love to munch on these, especially if freshly misted. Some cats are not interested, but the cats who are, really like it.

Listen and Read:

No two alike applies to snowflakes and cats. I think this quality is especially striking in living things.

Snowflakes form and drift down from the clouds, unchanged. Until they melt into water, and lose their distinction.

Living things can develop an essential Self. This, the snowflake lacks. That’s why it loses uniqueness upon transformation.

The pillow next to Lou says, "I do what I want." But I liked the expression on his face so I had to grab that.

After all, I can tell you what the pillow says.
