The amazing adventures of Soots and Arya continue here. We kept Robb because the other two were close partners in crime, always together, always egging each other on to new mischief. Robb used to be the sober and quiet one. With Soots and Arya gone, however, he's switched into full wild kitten mode. He is becoming possibly the most spoiled kitten in the world.

Meanwhile, I saw a battered black and white cat outside the house, a cat who looked more like a bulldog. If he is the father, we all may have monster cats on our hands.

Ah, well. Happy New Year!
