The home front

Ed is doing a wonderful job cat-wrangling back at the compound. Betty whisper-meows at him all the time (she can't make any noise because of damage from the pneumonia -- it's permanent, but she gets by). Lola and Betty can now hang out in the same room as long as they're supervised. Betty is apparently tougher than we thought and is good at standing her ground and maneuvering herself into an unassailable, superior position (such as the couch arm) when Lola gets a little feisty. Here she is admiring herself in the mirror.
