Picture of Eddie as a baby cat... he'd discovered a baggie of catnip in the night and this is how we found him.
A fluffy black and white tuxedo kitten sits on the kitchen floor covered in tiny specks of catnip.

An elderly white man sits on an electric tricycle; he's holding the leash of a medium sized black dog with a brown muzzle. They're about to go on a walk.
