    1. Rumor, gossip. 2. A drinking fountain or a cask of drinking water on a ship.

    Your cat actually cares what you think? If our sweet kitty was a little more dexterous this is what we'd get.

    You got three of those canniving critters? When they pool their resources they can organize more mayhem in one night than you can straighten out in a week.

    Ya gotta understand that I grew up with dogs. Seemingly endless halcyon days running thru the meadows, stalking the elusive bog frog all to vanish in an instant when I married a cat person.
