The weather got very cold here last night, down to the mid-20s. What was our cat doing? Sitting in her toasty warm (yay wood-pellet stove!) living room window, licking her paws and staring out at one of the neighborhood strays sitting on the front porch. Our next-door neighbor feeds the strays, but a lot of them love to sleep in our yard, and this one, known as "Big Boy," is huge and loud and chatty and affectionate. So he's sitting on the porch morosely, staring straight inside, directly at Paola who is sitting on the couch looking down on him like Marie Antoinette. If a cat could smirk, she would have been. This stare-off of cruelty went on for about ten minutes before we removed Paola and tried to give her some empathy by taking her outside for a few minutes. It didn't do much. Seriously, how do you train a spoiled housecat to not completely throw her good luck in the face of the less fortunate? I think cats might just be fascist by nature. I'm not sure if that makes dogs communist or not.
Anyway, Happy Halloween, y'all!

Happy Halloween to you too! The kids loved the pics of the cupcakes. Paola looks very pleased with herself. :)
Happy Halloween! I think you are right about fascist cats! Dogs are communists, except at mealtime!
