Once upon a time, there lived a handsome tabby supermodel in a village called Novato. One day, the tabby asked his assistant if he could visit his agent who lived in a village on the other side of the forest, and his assistant said, “Of course, Tabs.

I’m not drinking my standard-issue Folger’s today (Team Simply-Smooth-4-Life!) because another blend wooed me away.
