January 2017 Wrap-Up Post What We've Been Up To  ♥  Furriness: Evil Kitty has been doing what he does. Basically lounging about the house and being a general pain in everyone's butt. This week he claimed a new box as his own after beating off one of the other kitties and chewed his way through a brand new phone charger when I left the room for 30 seconds. Ugh, this cat. He's lucky he's sometimes adorable.  ♥   Craftiness:  We've been working on turning our ugly 1960's cabinets into something a litt...
