If you want to do a Piccolo Spoleto activity with the kids, why not take them to see children perform? "Kids Do Cats," a performance with 22 children from Charleston Ballet Theatre, will be performed at the dance school's theater on Saturday.

I was speaking with a neighbor recently who was having problems with her cat peeing all over the house. I asked her if she had take the cat to the vet to rule out a kidney infection and she said she had. The vet had suggested she buy more litter boxes.
She thought this was a stupid suggestion. “I have one cat and one litter box, how many do I need?” I told her the general rule of cat boxes is to have one for each cat plus an extra, especially if you live in a multi-level house as she does.

Sabine doesn't do "the blog thing," but she will send around some pretty high-grade stuff from time to time. Like the photograph above. And the "Engineers' Guide to Cats" video below...

Dear Home Ec 101,
My cats seem to drop enough fur to make a few new cats on my furniture every day. It’s ridiculous. How can I both prevent this and keep my furniture fur-free?
Thanks,
Fuzz Butt
