Colors make up our world. The human eye is said to be able to detect approximately 10 million colors. Undeniably, we are influenced by colors every day.

Well, our three little kitties have settled in. They know the routine and don’t give us very much trouble. I say that like they are teenagers when in fact they are like toddlers. Everything needs to be investigated, and they go nonstop until they collapse. And when they are quiet, you best go look…
