- Poor Muffy...but maybe these grandbabies will turn out to be not so bad. I
- have been walking carefully around the Patricia one, because she makes funny
- noises, and then everybody runs to pick her up, so a cat who isn't careful
- could get trampled. Last night, though, her grandfather decided we should
- get acquainted, and he held her and helped her pet me. This was okay, but
- then she decided she wanted to see what black cats taste like, so that
- ended the encounter. I'm willing to give her a few more chances...after
- all, it was her mama who rescued me from a pet store.
