Week 86 - Basic Cat Collar

Hi everybody.  How are you enjoying the first weekend in October?  I am enjoying the spring sunshine at the windowsill with listening birds cheeping.  Today, M came to me holding a cat collar which she had just made for me.  M put it on to me and said, "Oh, looks like a house cat."  Excuse me, I have been already a house cat...desperate house cat.  I just don't like wearing a collar.  M took some pictures of me and undo my collar.  Good grief!
