The natural order of things. There was a sunbeam on the dog bed earlier that caused the cat to take it. Dog is snoring.

A couple of months ago. The cat was totally ok with it, until she wasn't, at which point she left. I got in trouble for getting cat hair all over the baby carrier.

A coyote and a skunk on my driveway at 4am last night. My initial thought was 'glad my garage isn't drenched in skunk stench and/or blood and fur' but on closer inspection, the business end of the skunk was never pointed at the coyote. I think they were doing a 'hey neighbor, how about the weather?'
