As you know, we have a number of animals. This is one of them.


Her name is Salem. She is 16 years old and she is a bad cat.


No, the years haven’t mellowed her any.

You can see the evil…
She swats other animals at random. She tries to sharpen claws on the furniture even though there are 6 cat scratching posts right next to her. And if there is food left on the island, she will knock it down. She will eat some of it and then the dogs will finish it off. She knocked down pizza boxes. She knocked down rotisserie chicken which was cooling off so it could be refrigerated. We spent very anxious 24 hours because the dogs had eaten some of it and chicken bones are not good for the dogs.

So all food has to be either refrigerated, or if it’s take out that everyone is still munching on, placed into microwave or the oven. She hasn’t figured out how to open the oven yet.
