From the Melville Cat: Happy Birthday to Me

From the Melville Cat: The Midget Fluff Ball Menace Turns One

2019 Update From the Melville Cat
From the the Melville Cat:
Good day, dear readers. I would like to update you on recent developments.

Trixie, the Midget Fluff Ball Menace
- The Midget Fluff Ball Menace continues to play an active role in my day to day life, for better or worse. She is no longer a kitten but rather a half-grown cat. The Midget – I suppose I won’t be able to call her that much longer – is still rambunctious, forever scampering and tumbling about.



Trixie is still a menace, but fortunately she has become a bit more respectful of my boundaries in recent months. I hope this trend will continue.
