Cat Tails



Have you noticed that most black cats really aren’t? Take mine, for example. In the summer their coarse black fur thins out, and what’s left is a luscious soft chocolate that is especially visible when they sun themselves. And, being proud mixed breed alley cats, they have their tiger ancestors' stripes that show when they stretch out on the driveway to catch a few rays. But another Minnesota winter is on its way, and the coats of my feline friends will soon morph into solid black—no chocolate, no stripes.
