EW EW EW EW!!!!!!
I was disappointed enough that you’ve only had ONE cup of coffee. But TWO DAYS OLD?!?
(Also, please tell Ziggy that my cat Emma is similarly fussy in the morning. And she HAS food out. This morning, though, she got distracted because she wanted out the front door, likely to catch and release another mole in my house.)
