A temp home at best, the dish will be moved once the house is built, at least that's what I get from the article,
Grace has a nice warm and 72" tall cat tree that she likes and that I assembled.

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

I'm sorry about this, but it looks like the Polish have come to the same conclusion as we here down under have and why others should follow.

Why cats are an invasive alien species — and what to do about it.

Cheers.
