Good news from the Black Cat Ranch. Miss Mercy (California, USA) is gaining weight, after increasing her prednisone! On the other hand, she has started waking her human up for food at 3am.

She’s very little, but, despite her size, she subsequently got mad at Seamonster and started battling with him to force him off the bed. Then everybody jumped off the bed. No respect for the food giver.
