We are saddened to announce that our lovely, grouchy old office cat Friskie has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. In her prime Friskie was a spry kitty with an attitude to match. Friskie loved her catnip and was always very firm with her expected dinner time, daylight savings time or not. Friskie loved cuddles, climbing on (and drooling on) her favorite people. She loved to pass the day exploring and meeting new lizards and birds. RIP Friskie. We all miss you so much!
