I imagined trying to get a cat into a sweater, and it would be kind of like squeezing a water balloon into a sock. If the water balloon was heavily armed. And pissed off at you.
But it would be so worth it, once the wounds healed.

The yummiest-looking zero-calorie cake ever.

In a word, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! The mail brought good tidings today. My new yarn has arrived.
I was feeling very sorry for myself, looking at the decrepit state of my yarn stash. So I splashed out and went eBaying.
