This is the Skinner family cat Keely, a.k.a., Mitten, a.k.a., Bad Mitten, foe of the McHenry County Republican Cat Tax.

He takes possession of whatever rug is at the entrance of our home.

Keely Cat doesn’t know that he is roasting on an open fire.

I guess he thinks he’s resting and doesn’t care where.

But that is certainly what it looked like when I entered the house.
