Travelling with the cat

by: Gromett August 26, 2009

Time to travel,  the cat came with me on my wanders.  It picked its head off the cushion when the engine started then went back to sleep.  When I started moving it got up and jumped on the passenger seat to see what was happening.  After 2 minutes it was bored and went to sleep [...]
