Name’s Jellybean. Always the letter “J” because my mom was Jessica, my husband Joey. With a quarter of a century gone, it’s now aches and pains. Jellybean, now 5, his bed has become my chest.

My husband and I don’t totally see eye-to-eye ... I’m not a cat psychiatrist, but you would certainly be doing better by your pet than others have in situations with cats and kids.
