My roomate's kittens, Saroche (male) and Mani (female), when we brought them home, and a few months later.

1982

I got a job in the same library in which one of my library-school friends worked, and roomed with her -- plus her three cats and a dog -- for my first 3 months. The electric blanket made me very popular with (L to R):

Lesh (named after Phil Lesh), Willie, and Mouse (a dear little abuse survivor, so-named because she squeaked.)
