Oh the weather outside is getting frightful, and it makes the Internet so NOT delightful because now that it's started to snow, everything's slow, everything's slow, everything's slow ... especially Blogger! Anyway, sez Mousie, welcome to the 153rd edition of the Carnival of the Cats. Pull up your chairs and be prepared to be entertained!
