If you are an ailurophobe whose "friend" has subscribed you to this newsletter as a mean joke, you can unsubscribe by scrolling down to the bottom of this newsletter and following the directions.Sorry, I can't do it for you. For the rest of you ailurophiles, stay tuned for much more to come in future weeks. Connect With Franny:
