My beautifully mischievous, rare orange female tabby named Zoe, loves to rip and chew paper. I found this last night, tooth marks and all. The dreaded DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG UNDER PENALTY OF LAW under my sofa. The Tag Police will be paying me a visit in very very due course.

We were just there. One of the most beautiful and welcoming places I’ve ever visited. And, 90% of all new cars there are electric. They have a problem with huge cruise ships docking in tiny fjord towns, though. But a magnificent place.

On a street corner in Dublin near St Stephen’s Green. My heart jumped when I saw it.

Freddy has a sister! Zoë is 5 and enjoys giving me the stink eye when I haven't told her what a beautiful girl she is for 15 seconds.

If the cat lashes out he may have a physical problem like a urinary blockage. I’m not a vet but I’ve seen it with my cats. Of course, my Zoë is the purrrrrrfect cat. When she wants to be. Here she is giving me a dose of the side eye because she hasn’t been petted for 15 seconds.

Prague! There’s a Czech-made toy store on Celetna, a touristy street between the Powder Tower and Astronomical Clock called Pohadka, which specializes in marionettes. I “rescued” a beautiful 2-foot porcelain marionette of a rabbi, presumably Rabbi Loew, who created the Golem!

Well, look at this! My play, Who's Yehoodi?, an O'Neill semifinalist, was the featured play at today's New Play Exchange. Would be nice if someone did it. Any takers?

Yes, but does your cat help with the laundry like my Zoë does?

Zoe also thinks she is wash and wear.

Zoë loves the bathroom heating vent, and it's not far from her upstairs box. The height of convenience.

I've shared my home with three different cats (I'm a serial guardian), and they've all been indoors. I actually made my current cat kind of afraid of the outdoors since we're on a relatively busy street. She loves to look outside but has never attempted to go.
