The council has yet to decide how to address the problem of heavy traffic congestion in our little neighborhood. Although humans have posted speed limits of 25 mph, some of us cats have clocked cars at top speeds of 60 mph!

The cat in the tuxedo has not been around lately. There is a big red stain on the road. My human tells me it's just paint.

Virgie and the others joined in Friday night to a game of UNO. Yeah, we cats still play UNO. It could be one of the last few games for 'ole Virgie. "It's my [bleep] kidney", he says. "My body feels like shutting down. I had a dream of crossing the rainbow the other night. I said, 'please God, don't take me now. I want to see my friends again - one more time'".

We will miss our ole pal. Who knows, maybe the humans will come up with a miracle cure!
