FAMILY / TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE
ESTRANGED CATS PAUSE DIVORCE FOR KITTEN’S SOCCER MEDAL; RESUME HISSING IN CAR.
For one photograph, everyone was extremely well adjusted.
Estranged cats Iris and Malcolm suspended their divorce long enough to watch their kitten, Pip, receive a soccer medal.
They posed together, praised the coach, and allowed one photograph suggesting a household capable of sharing a cheese grater.
Malcolm called it a fresh start. Iris said he could start by returning her good towels.
By the parking lot, both were hissing about who had paid for the boots. Pip sat between them, examining his medal.
He won it for teamwork.
