Unfortunately, Anderson House is now closing, and I couldn’t be sadder about it. I would have loved the chance to visit this [...]

I don’t know this cat’s name, but he works very hard.

You may remember this post from the fuzzkill about the cat stuck in a couch. The fuzzkill theorized that the cat was actually a demented invader with killing in mind. This still may or may not be true, but Callie, the cat, has now been returned to her original owner.
