Right now Jimschweizer is reminding me an awful lot of...his sons. Boys who pull girl's hair and play pranks on their friends.

So yesterday I kept my cats awake ALL day since those little bastards kept me up all night the previous night playing kitty war. My friends chuckled in amazement because I would not let the cats nap at all yesterday and woke them up every chance I got.

But my strategy worked. A bissful night of rest at last...

These are my two beasts of the night - Mama Kitty Chuck (right), and Prickles (left). The little angel sleeping there is the one who beats my heart daily - the adorable little poppet in my life - the fairy child who chose me - Miss Peepot - my delightful little daughter.
