NCE UPON A TIME in a far-away kingdom across the sea... felines reigned supreme. They dined royally on porterhouse steaks, were amused by court jesters and frolicked through the meadows chasing autumn leaves. Over the years as society evolved, less importance was placed upon the cat.

his site is dedicated to all the strays of planet earth... and to Handsome, a 5 year-old, 15 lb, long-haired, rugged shelter-rescued tux whose gentle manner crept into my heart.
