Friday Cat Blogging (™ Kevin Drum)

Well, we had a little bit of excitement at the Riggs Residence today, as our downstairs neighbors inadvertently burned some food and set off all sorts of smoke alarms. Fortunately ours didn't go off, it's a bit of a pain to disable, but smoke and its accompanying smell does tend to waft upwards, so after we made sure everything was all right and they didn't need any help (and took advantage of our downstairs trip to get rid of our excess trash) we went around opening up our own windows for more ventilation, and Robin made sure the cats were calm:
