Mia, Queen of All She Surveys.

Mia doesn’t regard my taking in the pregnant homeless cat so much an act of Christian charity as an act of terrorism and unspeakable betrayal. So you might well imagine that the sounds of the Outdoor Cat and her four kittens (“the evil spawn” in Mia-speak) behind That Door are annoying the daylights out of Mia, and you’d be right. Last night, Mia did her impression of a Giant Indonesian Hissing Cockroach in the hallway outside the Outdoor Cat’s room. And I have learned to check the inside of my shoes before I put them on.
