An update about the cat - and it's Friday, so technically this is Friday Cat Blogging

Thank you for your kind words about the stepping on the cat incident. We had his second vet follow up the other day, and his blood levels are normal, so there appears to be no long term damage from the "trauma". The emergency vet called it that - which is much nicer than saying "from when you stepped on him".

As it turns out, we currently have three cats, two very messy children and one very messy house. Regrettably, the incident is unlikely to change our housekeeping habits, but you may be relieved to hear that we do have a night-light in our bedroom now.
