Sunday’s edition included an article mentioning rugs as a tool to help protect your hardwood floor during tough winter months (“Prepare your floors for winter”, 11/2 print edition).

Things had actually started settling down a bit after our move here, and I sense our cat Biscotti was finally beginning to recognize our home’s layout despite its ubiquitous and ever-growing population of runners, mats and area rugs.

Now, thanks to Sunday’s timely article, the cat may need to throw in the towel and start relying on GPS.
