“Ladies and gentlemen: the stories you are about to read are true. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.” Well, er, not quite. I can certify that all are based on events that have occurred in our lives over the past several years and particularly in the last few months, but the characters and cats in these stories are far from “innocent.” Alice’s imagination and creativity have overcome these shortcomings.

Common themes in these stories include idiots, pompous scientists, mothers, wine, and of course, cats. [Many, many cats.]
