Friday the 13th

Day 2 of Tigger watch. It looks like he's having to pee a lot less frequently, but I'm still keeping him in the crate at night and while we're at work. Its a lot of work to clean up cat pee. We rigged up a shelf (bed) inside the crate last night, it seems to work better and gives tigger some more space.

Today is Friday the 13th and although I'm not a superstitious person I thought I would share some thoughts that the weird people of the Interwebz had.
