With heavy heart, I report that Mr. Orna Mentball passed away. Dr.s at Sew Me U attempted to save his life but alas, it was not what the Great Tree Angel had in store.

The suspect--a grey/white female kitten-- is now in a local porta-prison because...well, the door was open and she walked in. (I didn't put it up after yesterdays vet appointment--she's ok, just her last booster!)Though there has not been an official statement, word at the litterbox says the suspect is not talking, the cat's got her tongue.

Mrs. Mentball and her child appear to be "hanging in there." Her comments on the situation: "What tragedy! What timing! I'm staying strong but it's hard when Jr. keeps ASPEN where his FIRther is! Despite our hardship, I wish everyone the best holiday season -- may Christmas be evergreen in you heart."

And speaking of hearts... sources say Mrs. Mentball is not pining away after her late husband... quite the opposite! It seems that Mrs. Mentball has surrounded herself with Mr. Gar Land's presence.....

Stay Tuned for the Continuing Saga!
