Andy placed our delicate, 16-pound cat in the bug sling yesterday morning. The sling is funny for me to wear right now with a gigantic belly but Sam Bubba loved it. (I adore the sling, called a Sprout Pouch. They are made locally.)

I carried him around for about 1/2 hour. He fiercely purred and occasionally gazed at me drunkenly with adoring eyes. I hope he is not jealous when bug arrives now that he has experienced such splendor.

What is it with babewear and animals? When we receive tiny hats as gifts we immediately put them on our animals to see how they look. And we laugh and give them kisses every time. It never gets tired. It is ridiculous I know. Alice broke in the bright green booties not long ago.
